This scene became the reason for breaking the relationship between Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan!

Actually, the reason for the distance in the relationship between Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan is a scene in the film. Amitabh Bachchan's death scene was to happen at the end of the film, but Rajesh Khanna remained adamant. Rajesh Khanna believed that the star who dies last enters the hearts of the audience. That's why he wanted him to die in the end. Since he was a bigger star than Amitabh Bachchan, director Hrishikesh Mukherjee was also forced to agree with him. After a change in the climax, Rajesh Khanna dies in the film and Amitabh Bachchan avenges his death. Rajesh Khanna got his point fulfilled but bought Amitabh Bachchan's displeasure. His character received more praise than Amitabh Bachchan's character. This once again made Rajesh Khanna very angry.
