Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi have worked together in the film ‘Khuda Witness’. The film was released in 1992. But initially Sridevi was not ready for this film. But Amitabh adopted such an idea to convince Sridevi, which the actress would not have even imagined. The incident is mentioned in the book ‘Sridevi: The Eternal Screen Gods’.

Sridevi’s condition was accepted
Big B believed that since he had already done two films, it will no longer be the matter. So did happen. Sridevi did not agree to work in the film. Then Amitabh sent a truck full of roses to Sridevi to convince them. Sridevi was surprised by what Amitabh did. But still he laid a condition to work in the film. Her condition was that she would play the role of both mother and daughter in ‘Khuda Witness’. The makers accepted the condition and the actress appeared in double role. South actor Nagarjuna was also part of the film. The film was well liked by the audience.
