By the year 1999, the film career of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan was going through a bad phase. While on one hand his films were proving to be flops one after the other, on the other hand his own company “Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited” was on the verge of bankruptcy. Amitabh Bachchan Sahab was completely heartbroken. He could not see any way out.
In this difficult time, Amitabh Bachchan remembered his friend and famous Bollywood producer – director Yash Chopra. Even before this, once when Amitabh Bachchan was struggling in the Hindi film industry, Yash Chopra had helped him and given him a job in the film “Deewar”. Deewaar proved to be a superhit and marked the beginning of Amitabh Bachchan’s angry young man image. Once again Amitabh Bachchan needed the company of Yash Chopra.
When Amitabh Bachchan reached director Yash Chopra’s house and told his problem to Yash Chopra, Yash Chopra could not believe it for some time. Because if a megastar like Amitabh Bachchan says that he has no work and is on the verge of becoming a pauper, then no one will be able to swallow this thing. Well, when Amitabh Bachchan assured Yash Chopra about his situation, Yash Chopra became emotional. He assured all possible help to Amitabh Bachchan. When Yash Chopra’s son Aditya Chopra started his film “Mohabbatein”, Yash Chopra gave work to Amitabh Bachchan in that film. Amitabh Bachchan worked with full hard work and dedication. The film “Mohabbatein” proved to be a superhit and Amitabh Bachchan’s lost self-confidence returned with this film. Amitabh Bachchan was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his brilliant acting in this film. In this way, the film “Mohabbatein” proved to be important for Amitabh Bachchan’s film career and Yash Chopra played the role of Sanjeevani Booti in Amitabh Bachchan’s career.
