• Manoj Kumar, a close friend of Waheeda Rehman, offered Amitabh a role in his 1974 film 'Roti Kapda Aur Makaan'.
• The film 'Roti Kapda Aur Makaan' was a massive box office success, earning ₹10.50 crore against a ₹2 crore budget, and revitalized Amitabh's career.
• Manoj Kumar trusted Amitabh's talent despite others calling him a 'flop actor' and convinced him not to leave Mumbai.
