Films that Dilip Kumar regrets rejecting

 
Zanjeer (1973)
The Kohinoor of Indian cinema rejected the role of Vijay- the `angry young man` because he thought the role was not layered and was only uni-dimensional. Because the character was not multi-dimensional, the late actor felt that the character did not have any scope for performance. Zanjeer proved to be a blockbuster at the box office and became a turning point in Amitabh Bachchan`s life. It was also the first collaboration of the iconic writer duo Salim-Javed. The film brought popularity for Big B whose career was sinking and made him an overnight star.
