Story of Dharmendra had rejected the film ‘Soldier’: Had stopped Bobby Deol from working, had said – ‘My son will not do the role of killing his father’

‘Soldier’, released in 1998, proved to be an important film for Bobby Deol’s career. After this film, Bobby’s career was back on track because his first film ‘Barsaat’ had flopped. But do you know that after hearing the story of the film ‘Soldier’, Dharmendra did not want his son Bobby to work in this film. Recently, the film’s director Abbas Mastan has shared this in an interview. He told, ‘Bobby had signed the film with full excitement but Dharam ji called us home and said – My son is a newcomer, he has only one film. You guys are directing ‘Soldier’ ​​but I will listen to its story. Dharmendra said – My son will not do this film. Abbas Mastan further said that Dharamji listened to a little script and refused to let Bobby do it. Actually, he had an objection to the fact that Bobby’s character kills his father in the film. Later Abbas-Mustan told Dharamji the whole story and convinced him and he agreed. Dharmendra had objection to this. Narrating the whole story further, Abbas said, ‘There were many twists and turns in the story of the film. When Dharmendra ji heard that Bobby’s character shoots his father, he stood up from his seat and said – My son will not do the role of killing. When we told them that please listen to the whole story, there is a twist in the story. Later he heard the whole story and said what a great film it would make. ‘Soldier’ ​​was released in 1998 and proved to be a superhit. The film was the highest-grossing film of 1998 after ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. This film is considered to be one of the most successful films of Bobby’s career.
