Amitabh Bachchan’s fan swore never to watch ‘Muqaddar ka Sikandar’, here’s what the veteran actor did next

Amitabh Bachchan often drops interesting anecdotes on his blog. Recently he narrated an incident wherein his fan refused to watch ‘Muqaddar ka Sikandar’ because of an untoward event that had occurred with him at the film’s screening.

“he came from a limited background .. both in the families means and surrounds , but desired to see a film of mine - ‘Muqaddar ka Sikandar’ .. he commented I owed him something and on prodding him revealed his desire to see the mentioned film and not having the means .. so he managed to procure Rs 10 - somehow and travelled miles to a theatre after making all possible calculations on how this 10/-, would be spent or be enough for the film to be seen .. stood for hours, with the 10/- Rs and by the time his turn came to the Box Office window, a rush for tickets and the stampede of the audience, resulted in the Police being summoned and mayhem .. in that wild atmosphere he was pushed and shoved and bore the ‘lathi charge’ dispersing the crowds , finding himself thrown to the ground, head injury , and the 10/- gone in the mêlée .. he swore never to see that film that day and swore he would only see it if and when the leading man of the film would sit by his side and watch it together .. �� .. its been over 20 years of this and he has kept his promise of not seeing it,” shared the veteran actor.

Big B went on to reveal his reaction the same and added, "I gave him his lost Rs 10/-, with an interest of 10/- and assured him that one day perhaps we could see the film together ..”

Directed by Prakash Mehra, ‘Muqaddar ka Sikandar’ released during Diwali in 1978.
