Jitendra Rejected, Amitabh-Meenakshi Starred: Why This Blockbuster Director Quit Industry

• The 1988 film 'Ganga Jamuna Saraswati' starring Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Prada, and Meenakshi Seshadri was a major flop.
• Jitendra was initially offered the film but rejected it; Mithun Chakraborty later joined the cast.
• Despite a star-studded cast including Amitabh Bachchan and Meenakshi Seshadri, the film failed to attract audiences.
• Director Manmohan Desai, known for blockbusters with Amitabh, was so impacted by the film's failure that he retired from directing.
• Manmohan Desai never directed another film after 'Ganga Jamuna Saraswati', though he did produce one film with Amitabh Bachchan.
