According to an interview in Times Of India, Shatrughan Sinha revealed that three of the four films he was offered were later offered to Amitabh Bachchan. Deewar, Sholay, and Satte Pe Satta are some of the films to name. When asked if that led to friction between them, the actor denied it and clarified, “Not at all. All these things keep happening. Someone might be the first choice for a role, but it eventually goes to someone else. Perhaps the makers, at some point, realise that some other actor would be better for a role, or at times I couldn’t have taken a film due to date issues, which was the case with Sholay.”
