New Delhi. This incident related to Shatrughan Sinha is related to his film ‘Vishwanath’. This film was released in 1978. This film was directed by Subhash Ghai. The actress of the film was Reena Roy while the second lead actor in the film was also Parikshit Sahni. It is said that Shatrughan Sinha started feeling insecure after seeing Parikshit Sahni’s brilliant acting and his powerful role in this film. They did not get along well during the shooting of the film.
According to IMDb, after the release of the film, Shatrughan Sinha gave an interview about Raj Kapoor in Star N Style magazine. It was written in the title of the magazine, ‘Raj Kapoor, I am not your spoon’. After this interview of Shatrughan Sinha, Parikshit Sahni gave an interview in the same magazine taking Shatrughan Sinha to task and trashing him. Later Shatrughan Sinha wrote an open letter about Parikshit in which he said that he did this for promotion. Shatrughan said that Parikshit always plays the role of a poor person.
Shatrughan Sinha also considers Raj Kapoor as his idol but due to a dispute with his brother Shammi Kapoor, while talking to the magazine, he said something which the Kapoor family did not like. Parikshit, who started his career with Raj Kapoor’s film ‘Mera Naam Joker’, did not like Shatrughan’s words. That’s why he scolded Shatrughan in the interview.
Let us tell you that during ‘Vishwanath’ Shatrughan Sinha was new to films. His only lead role was in the film Kalicharan (1996). After this there was ‘Vishwanath’ which almost flopped at the box office.
