Indian director Ramesh Sippy’s film ‘Sholay’ achieved immense success and fame worldwide, including India, and is still close to the hearts of fans today. The film was not very successful in the initial days of its release, but later the buzz grew and it became a big hit.
This film made a lot of money and became one of India’s longest-running films. Sholay earned about Rs 35 crore during this period. This film featured famous Bollywood actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Amjad Khan, Jaya Bachchan, and Sanjeev Kumar.
It is said that Dharmendra received a fee of Rs 1,50,000 for his role, but there was another actor who took a FRIDGE as compensation instead of money.
The actor, whose name is Sachin Pagalankar, has worked as a child actor in more than 65 films and has also directed more than 50 films. Sachin played the role of Ahmed in Sholay, and his acting was very much liked.
According to Sachin Pagalankar, in the 1970s, a refrigerator was considered a valuable thing, so he took a refrigerator as compensation instead of money and he has kept this refrigerator even today.
