Agneepath: Danny Denzongpa Threatened to Shoot Co-star Tinnu Anand Over 'Abusive Scene'

  • During the filming of Agneepath, Danny Denzongpa threatened to shoot co-star Tinnu Anand if he hurled abuses at his character, Kancha Cheena.
  • Tinnu Anand, playing Nathu, was required to use abusive language as per the script, which caused tension on set.
  • To circumvent Danny's threat, Tinnu cleverly inserted the abusive dialogue during post-production dubbing, unbeknownst to Danny.
  • Danny Denzongpa, a Padma Shri awardee who runs a Rs 700 crore empire, only realized the trick after watching the film's release, reacting with laughter and admiration.
  • The film's raw language, including Tinnu's abuses, even made Amitabh Bachchan uncomfortable, who would ask for the sound to be turned off when his parents watched.

Why It Matters: A clever trick by Tinnu Anand during Agneepath's filming led to a legendary behind-the-scenes anecdote.
