After the release of “Safar,” which costarred Sharmila Tagore, Rajesh Khanna became irate at Feroz Khan for stealing all the credit!

Even now, Rajesh Khanna is regarded as Bollywood’s first superstar! His popularity has persisted in being unmatched, and he has a lengthy list of films that are still considered classics, including “Anand,” “Bawarchi,” “Safar,” and “Daag.” From Amitabh Bachchan to Feroz Khan, the actor has been on film with a number of his peers from that era.

However, did you know that after the premiere of their movie “Safar,” Rajesh Khanna became quite irate with Feroz?
In the love drama “Safar,” Feroz Khan, Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore, and Ashok Kumar appeared. It was directed by Asit Sen and based on a book by Bengali novelist Ashutosh Mukherjee. However, Khanna became very irate after the movie’s premiere because Feroz Khan stole all the credit and recognition. The ‘Anand’ actor was upset that Khan received as much affection and recognition as he did. Rajesh never saw Feroz as a rival, since he was a superstar at the time. However, they ultimately received the same amount of adoration from the movie, which Khanna found awkward.
Together, these two actors have acted in four films: Khoon Aur Paani, Safar, Ram Tere Kitne Nam, and Aurat. It’s interesting to note that ‘Safar’ was the tenth biggest-earning Hindi movie of the year, and the songs are still ingrained in our collective consciousness. The movie’s soundtrack, which included songs like “Jo Tumko Ho Pasand Wahi Baat Kahenge” and “Hum The Jinke Sahaare,” immediately struck a chord with viewers, which contributed significantly to the movie’s popularity.
