Bollywood's Iconic 'John Jaani Janardhan': 13 Stars, 7-Day Shoot, Mohammed Rafi's Voice

  • The 1981 film 'Naseeb' features the iconic song 'John Jaani Janardhan', which brought together 13 major Bollywood stars.
  • Stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Raj Kapoor, Dharmendra, Waheeda Rehman, and Shammi Kapoor appeared in the song, directed by Manmohan Desai.
  • Unusually, the song's shooting spanned seven days, a stark contrast to the typical one or two days for filming songs.
  • Composed by Lakshmikant-Pyarelal with lyrics by Anand Bakshi, Mohammed Rafi's vocals made the 6.28-minute song a classic.
  • This song set a precedent for multi-star appearances in Bollywood, influencing later films like 'Om Shanti Om's 'Deewani Deewani'.

Why It Matters: 'John Jaani Janardhan' from 'Naseeb' is a Bollywood classic for its multi-star cast and extensive shoot.
