Shatrughan Sinha is a legend in his own ways. The superstar, the youngest of four brothers, had figured out early that movies and acting interested him more than anything else. After graduating from FTII in Pune he arrived in Mumbai in search of work. His distinguished voice and dominating demeanour landed him a role in Dev Anand's directorial 'Prem Pujari'. 

While he quickly gained name in the industry as a villain, the actor wanted to be a hero on screen and pushed his friend and filmmaker Subhash Ghai to make 'Kalicharan'- a film that established him as a hero. There was no stopping him from there. However, did you know he rejected the cult classic film, 'Sholay'. Talking about the same during his appearance on Indian Idol in 2021, he revealed the reason for the same, "You can call it a ‘human error.’ Ramesh Sippy Saab used to make great films and he made Sholay which became the blockbuster and was praised by world’s renowned filmmaker, Bharat Ratna and Oscar winner Late Satyajit Ray Saab who liked this film the most.”
