Dharmendra Turned Down Role in Agent Vinod, Reveals Sriram Raghavan
Sriram Raghavan on Dharmendra: Sriram Raghavan directed Dharmendra in his last film, '21'. Now, Sriram Raghavan has shared an anecdote about Dharmendra, where he turned down a role in 'Agent Vinod'. Find out the reason behind it...
The last movie of the late Bollywood actor Dharmendra was '21', which was released this year even after his death. However, the director of the movie '21', Sriram Raghavan, has now spoken about the late actor Dharmendra. Dharmendra refused a role in Sriram Raghavan's 2012 film 'Agent Vinod', even though they had worked together before in the movie 'Johnny Gaddaar'.
According to PTI, during a conversation at a Screenwriters Association (SWA) event, Sriram revealed that while planning "Agent Vinod," he had approached Dharmendra for the role of the RAW chief, but he declined.
The director said, "After 'Johnny Gaddaar,' I told him I wanted to work with him again. He said, 'Yes, absolutely.' I remember when I was making Agent Vinod, we had written a role for the RAW chief. Zeenat Aman was going to be opposite him. We wanted her to be in Russia. So it was a story about an old man and a young man."
