Dilip Kumar’s 100th birth anniversary is tomorrow on December 11. His repertoire of films is the envy of every aspiring thespian in the world. He picked his films very carefully. During his illustrious innings as an actor he said no to dozens of films including Raj Kapoor’s Sangam where he was offered Rajendra Kumar’s role.
But the one role that he deeply regretted for saying no to, was Guru Dutt’s Pyaasa. Dilip saab was not only signed for the film he was ready with his lines, clothes, dates, dialogues. In fact the camera was about to roll when Dilip Kumar repudiated the role.
