Dharmendra as Preity Zinta's Father in his latest film Har Pal

We don't know whether it's true, false or just hearsay. But the buzz is that Amitabh was first approached to play Preity Zinta's father in Jahnu Barua's Har Pal . Not because Big B had a special liking for nine time National award winning filmmaker Jahnu Barua, but because of his old friendship with the producer of the film Tito Tony.



















We don't know what happened, but the role finally went to DHARMENDRA. We heard that after Amitabh backed out at the last minute, Preity Zinta suggested Dharmendra's name to the producer and they were happy to find a replacement so fast.

Dharmji was born as on December 8, 1935 in Phagwara, Punjab. His original name is Dharam Singh Deol. He is famous by his nickname as Dharam and Dharminder.

During his childhood, he used to do hosiery work in Ludhiana city. He had married twice. First, he married Prakash and then Hema Malini. He has recently entered into politics.














He became the Member of Parliament in the 2004 general elections from Bikaner, Rajasthan. His zodiac sign is Sagittarius. His height is around 5' 8

"I'm not aware of Amitabh. I knew the producer Tito and when he told me about this film being made by Jahnu Barua, I was more than happy to do it.

Let's wait for the film to release to know whether it was Amitabh's loss or Dharmendra's gain or vice versa!
