This interview has rejuvinivated old nostalgia from 1980s. I got few opportunities to be with Mr Mehra and his family (puneet as a kid) during that era and release of toofan & jadugar.. What ever puneet has mentioned is correct being his child memories. "It was difficult for him to fathom people around him." People were trying to put him down but he was a perfect sports man but very emotional person. A big salute to the legend.
One unknown fact about Prakash Mehra was that Prakash wanted to convert to Christianity and he used to go to Mount Mary's Church on a regular basis .... However his family objected and as a result he couldn't become one
Puneet could become a wonderful villian or an actor !! see his personality, his voice,, his eyes,, his delivery of the answers and command over language !! what is he doing now a days?? anyone knows??
Good to know mr Mehra & mr desai had respect for 1 another & not animosity, they both were top directors, and needed each other to achieve greater heights.
मनमोहन देसाई और प्रकाश मेहरा को हिंदी भाषा के कारण नाम मिला और शोहरत मिली... दुर्भाग्य की बात है कि दोनों के बच्चों ने हिंदी भाषा से दूरी बना ली हैं...
Great director Prakash jee so many hits after hits till Sharabi ..after that his movies failed may new generation arrive ..even amitabh couldnt sustain his magic .its happens with every big directors except Rajkapoor & yash chopara ❤
As they say success has many fathers, failure is an orphan. Salim-Javed frequently say in interviews that they suggested Bachchan's name to Prakash Mehra as he was searching for his hero. Here Puneet says it was Pran. But ultimately I think the credit goes to Prakash Mehra. It is still amazing today how he defied so many norms in making and casting this film. He somehow ended up with an SJ script that Dharam owned, but with no Dharam attached. All the other stars Mehra approached either rejected the film outright or wanted changes to suit their image. Instead of compromising, Mehra just keeps looking for the right actor. Despite AB's spate of flops, PM picks him and sticks by him. Distributors and financiers back out, PM soldiers on. What a long and winding road to destiny! Without this film, AB talented as he was might well have ended up an also-ran. Watching one of Dharam's interviews on youtube, it's very evident that losing Zanjeer pains him even today, however friendly he's with Bachchan. New stars can come and displace the previous star, but this was a rare scenario where a reigning star literally gave away his top spot to a new one. And this was not just a random top spot from a random decade, but maybe the most significant such spot in Hindi cinema history because it launched the angry young man, finally catapulted the industry from its comfort zone of musical romances and family dramas into action, which in turn changed South cinema, culminating in Pushpa and KGF - the consequences are still playing out.
Nobody knows the future of a film and when its a blockbuster the offers stars refuse later regret . Pran jee had recommended so did actor om prakash who had done parwana and was highly impressed salim javed too had Faith in his talent as an actor if not as a future star . So they are right in their own way.
Sab log big b ka credit le lo, Salim Javed, pran, dharamendra,Indira Gandhi,Mahmood,prakash mehra,Ramesh sippy, bas khud Bachchan ko koi credit mat do 😂😂😂😂 he is a fantastic actor that's why he is where he is, sab credit lene aa jaate hai 😂😂😂😂
For jadugar and GJS kk demanded high price than his market value at that time so manji left AAA part 2 , started another movie, same thing with jadugar, weak dialogues, weak screen play

I saw all movie's of sir mehra ... All movies was Master piece
What an eloquent young lad! Hope he is carrying forward the legacy of his late father!
Wonderful conversation Those days will never come again.
Talent met Talent and Magic happened!!
Generally you can find triangle in Bollywood movies. But in ' Mukaddar Ka Sikander' there was love five angle.
Very glad to see Prakash ji son what a man with many hits in line
Puneet could become a wonderful villian or an actor !! see his personality, his voice,, his eyes,, his delivery of the answers and command over language !! what is he doing now a days?? anyone knows??
Puneet brother is a very good story narrator... ,👌

Yash Chopra gave many flops before he made Chandni.
Whole 80's of yash chopra was full of flop movies except chandani and mashaal up to some extent
@@ramalingamshankar6650Even after Chandni, his next movie Lamhe (1991) flopped...
Wonderful interview ! 👌😍👏🏻
A gem of interview with abnormal sound quality!
PMP Great Personality

@@mixedbagg69 exactly .
Please call ketan Desai son of Manmohan Dasai ......
Before Prakash Mehra ji was Ajit, famous villain Loin, wearing white clothes
Jadugar didn't do well because it was not written by Kader Khan .
Agreed. Pm p movie without kk was unbelievable
For jadugar and GJS kk demanded high price than his market value at that time so manji left AAA part 2 , started another movie, same thing with jadugar, weak dialogues, weak screen play
Liked the interview....
Ramesh Sippy never gave a single decent hit after Sholay...
Zabardast
hey nice sharing
bhai usko bolne de - aur mic professional khareed le gareeb aadmi
Amitabh is selfish person
