Shatrughan Sinha Recollects His Memories During Narration of His Hit Film ‘Kalicharan’

Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha recollects the moment when he dozed off during the script narration of Subhash Ghai’s Kalicharan. The film released in 1976 and turned out to be a breakthrough role for Sinha as well as his co-star Reena Roy.

“A very good friend of mine — family friend and wife’s brother — Subhash Ghai, who was a newcomer back then, narrated the script of Kalicharan to me. But in the middle of the narration, I dozed off! Although it happened, the complete truth is that the script narration took place at about 3 to 4 am and I had just returned after completing three to four movie shifts. By the time I reached home, it was already 2 am. Still, I immediately freshened up and met him at 4 am sharp. I was so tired that I partially dozed off during the narration,” Sinha recalled.

“But during the shooting of this movie, I gave my full support to Subhash Ghai and apart from this film I did three more with him,” the actor added.
