Thus, he "simply opened his cupboard, stepped in and disappeared!" "He used to have this astounding cupboard that hid a secret staircase within. Gulzar penned in the memoir that once a producer went to the Kishore Kumar's house to seek a meeting, but he was not in a mood to talk to him. In fact, one of Kishore Kumar's favourite things to do was "to land his producers in trouble." Nevertheless, I have never seen someone cutting off their nose to spite their face in such a manner. Not only directors, many producers were also at the receiving end of Kishore Kumar's mischief. Perhaps Kishoreda never wanted to play the character. The award-winning screenwriter who wrote the dialogues for the film recalled, "Consequently, Rajesh Khanna was finalized for the role in a very short time. Gulzar wrote, "We were all shocked! On top of that, Kishoreda went around the office dancing and singing, "What will you do now, Hrishi? (the film's director, Hrishikesh Mukherjee)." Gulzar says Kishore Kumar was initially set to feature in AnandĪccording to Gulzar, just a few days before the shoot of the film, the legendary singer Kishore Kumar, in a meeting to discuss his look in the film, shocked everyone by turning up completely bald. The iconic poet stated that 'mad genius' Kishore Kumar had a number of tricks up his sleeves- from turning 'completely bald', avoiding playing the titular role in the film to troubling producers by disappearing through a 'secret staircase' behind his cupboard.
Anand was later remade in Malayalam as Chitrashalabham (Butterfly) starrying Jayaram and Biju Menon.In his new memoir, Actually.I Met Them, director, poet, and lyricist Gulzar revealed that initially Kishore Kumar was set to feature in 1971's cult classic release Anand. Bhaskar Banerjee (played by Bachchan) and the dialogue writer of film, Gulzar, are poets in the film and in reality. They have a lyrical and poetic touch as the characters of Dr. The dialogues of Anand were written by poet Gulzar.
Film expert and musicologist Rajesh Subramanian says, Hrishikesh Mukherjee shot the film in 28 days. A furious Hrishikesh Mukherjee then decided to drop both Kishore and Mehmood, and opted for Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan, and the rest is history. When Hrishikesh Mukherjee went to Kishore Kumar's house, the gatekeeper brusquely asked him to leave. Kishore Kumar had a quarrel with a Bengali event manager over some stage show payment, and he had ordered his gatekeeper to drive away the "Bengali" whenever he came. He went to meet Kishore Kumar to persuade him to agree. Hrishikesh Mukherjee wanted to cast Kishore Kumar as Anand Sehgal and comedian Mehmood was to do the role of Babu Moshai. That is why, film Anand is "dedicated to Raj Kapoor and the people of Bombay". Actually, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, who was addressed as "Babu Moshai" by the legendary Raj Kapoor, wrote this story, when Raj Kapoor was seriously ill and Mukherjee thought he could die. But a hilarious goof-up proved to be Kishore Kumar's undoing, and the plum role went to Rajesh Khanna. Mumbai: It was actor-singer Kishore Kumar, not Rajesh Khanna, who was to do the role of Anand Sehgal in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's classic film Anand, one of the top 25 must-see Bollywood films. It was kishore not rajesh khanna who was to do the role of anand
