Amitabh Bachchan had become extremely popular after the success of Zanjeer (1973) and Majboor (1974), hence there was immense craze for Deewar. The fans had lined up from Marine Drive till Minerva (Mumbai) at the premiere of the film. The sheer frenzy surrounding the movie completely caught everyone off guard as no one had ever foreseen this kind of mob hysteria.
Amitabh Bachchan shot Sholay (1975) and 'Deewaar' simultaneously. Since most of his scenes feature him indoors or during the dark, he used to shoot 'Sholay' in the morning and 'Deewaar' during the night.
Deewar ran for over 100 weeks. It is one of the only 13 films that grossed over 1 crore rupees in every territory across India between 1970s-1980s. It was classified as an "All time earner" and super duper hit and considered among top 10 money-spinners of the industry in those days.
Amitabh Bachchan found that the coolie shirt he wore was too long, hence he tucked it half in. This became a style statement.
For the role of Vijay Verma , Yash Chopra wanted Rajesh Khanna, but Salim Javed after having had misunderstanding with Khanna were adamant on being the role given to Amitabh.
"Vijay: Your principles, your ideals? What work are your principles of? What work are your ideals of? All your principles mashed up together couldn't make up one time of bread Ravi ! The ideals for which you are ready to play from your life, what has they given you? One rented quarter, a rundown police car, two pairs of brown uniform. Watch, watch today this is all me, today this is all you, we both have stood up together from this pathway, but today where have you remained and where have I arrived. Today I have a bungalow, car, bank balance. What do you have? Ravi: I have mother."
"Builder: You're not a smart businessman. If you'd have tried to negotiate, I would have reduced the proce of this building by 5-10 lakh rupees. Vijay: I'm sorry sir, but in my point of view, you're not a smart businessman. If you'd have asked for a million rupees more, I'd have given them without any hesitation. Twenty years earlier from today my mother had picked up bricks in this building. Today I am going to gift this building to her."
