Amitabh Bachchan's Comeback: How 'Aaj Ka Arjun' Defied Flops and Box Office Storms
•Amidst the Bofors scandal and seven consecutive flops, Amitabh Bachchan found a hit with K.C. Bokadia's 'Aaj Ka Arjun'.
•Producer K.C. Bokadia paid Amitabh Bachchan a hefty fee, initially offering 1 crore rupees, though Bachchan accepted 70 lakhs.
•The film, a remake of a 1988 Tamil movie, marked K.C. Bokadia's directorial debut and was released on August 10, 1990.
•The hit song "Gori Hai Kalaiyan" famously borrowed its hook from the Pakistani film 'Gama B.A.'s' song "Neendran Nahin Aundiya, Saari Raat Leva Angdaiyan."
•Sridevi was initially offered the lead role but declined; the film's original title was 'Kaun Sune Fariyad'.
