TRIVIA

Trivia

During early 1980's Dilip Kumar was a big major actor playing central and important roles. Subhash Ghai went on to sign Jackie Shroff to play Madan Puri's son Ponchi (the role done by Gautam Sarin) for Vidhaata after seeing Jackie Shroff's work in Swami Dada, but when Subhash Ghai met Jackie, he requested him not to do Vidhaata, instead he told Jackie not to do more films as supporting actor and told Jackie to wait for him. Jackie obliged and thus blockbuster Hero 1983 was the result. Dilip Kumar & Shammi Kapoor first time came together, after being in the same industry for many years. Suresh Oberoi was a new actor at that time, he got small roles in big films. For the first time Kader Khan wrote dialogues for Dilip Kumar. Then later Subhash Ghai repeated Shammi Kapoor, Sanjeev Kumar & Amrish Puri in his next film Hero. Madan Puri was common actor for Subhash Ghai (except Krodhi) from Kalicharan to Hero, while Amrish Puri became common actor for Subhash Ghai from this film.

Sanjay Dutt's drug addiction was at an all time high during the shooting of this film. Subhash Ghai, tired of the endless problems he faced because of this, decided to remove Sanjay Dutt from his next film 'Hero'.

Only time Sanjay Dutt and Sarika acted together.

Sanjay Dutt's mother Nargis has acted in films with Dilip Kumar and in this film her son acted with Dilip Kumar and also Sanjay Dutt's father Sunil Dutt and Dilip Kumar were given the post as Sherrif of Bombay in the 1980s.

Vidhaata was the biggest blockbuster of 1982 earning blockbuster status.
