Rishi Kapoor's Stubbornness Forced Raj Kapoor to Drop Rajesh Khanna from Film

• Raj Kapoor initially planned to cast Rajesh Khanna in his 1978 film Satyam Shivam Sundaram.
• Rishi Kapoor strongly opposed casting an 'outside actor' when there were family members available, leading to family tension.
• Raj Kapoor, with a heavy heart, informed Rajesh Khanna on his birthday that he couldn't make the film with him.
• Two decades later, Rajesh Khanna worked under Rishi Kapoor's direction in 'Aa Ab Laut Chalen' after Krishna Kapoor's persuasion.
• Rishi Kapoor later confessed in his autobiography 'Khullam Khulla' that his dislike stemmed from Rajesh Khanna's perceived disrespect towards his father, Raj Kapoor, during the filming of Bobby.
