Raj Babbar claims that director Prakash Mehra abruptly changed his mind about casting him in Shashi Kapoor’s part in Namak Haraam.Raj Babbar, an actor, claims that he relocated to Mumbai in order to participate in Prakash Mehra’s 1982 film Namak Halaal, but that he was abruptly fired from the production. He has already been fired from Ramesh Sippi’s crime drama Shakti.
Delhi mein mera ek kaam dekh ke mujhe bulaya, Prakash Mehra. Vinod Khanna sahab’s filmein chood ke ja rahe the, Namak Halaal aur ek aur film, unhone mujhe do filmon ke liye sign kiya. Prakash Mehra called me after seeing my performance in Delhi in 1978. Vinod Khanna was ready to leave acting at the time (in 1978), so he signed me for a few films, including Namak Halaal),’ Raj Babbar stated on the Rajshri Film YouTube page.Prior to it, screenwriting team Salim-Javed had previously called Raj Babbar to Mumbai for a part in Ramesh Sippi’s Shakti, which Anil Kapoor would subsequently play. Raj Babbar, though, was already sceptical about believing another filmmaker’s word after it didn’t work out the first time.In the words of Vinod Khanna sahab, “Maine kaha mere liye bahut badi baat hai aap mujhe kaam de rahe hain, bahut badi film de rahe hain, bahut bada role de rahe hain. In contrast, Mumbai’s “Mere Pas Wahan” neighborhood’s jagah, rishtedar, and dost do not exist. It’s a big deal to be offered a significant role in a film, so if that’s the case, then everyone should be excited.
Raj Babbar sold his scooter after Prakash Mehra agreed so that his wife, theatre personality Nadira Babbar, could support their family. However, Raj Babbar discovered that he had been fired from the movie when he relocated to Mumbai. In the video, he stated that “a few people didn’t want to work with me,” “Kuchh log mere sath kaam nahi karna chahte the.” Shashi Kapoor, a late actor, then played the part.
