He explained, “It was the year 1972. We went to him and showed him ‘Saat Hindustani’ and after the trial, my father and Dutt Sahab were drinking alcohol in the Ajanta lobby. Then Dutt sahab said to my father that Manmohan, this boy is intense, but what will I do with the voice of this pahadi crow?’ After this, Sunil Dutt cast Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Reshma Aur Shera’, but Amitabh was not given any dialogues due to his voice.”
