Raj Kapoor UnFriended Pran After Bobby (1973) 

I used to see Pransaab almost everyday. Our school was very close to his bungalow. Such a philanthropist, used to feed the poor once a week.

RK WAS JUST HERO ON SCREEN..BUT, PRAN SAHEB WAS REAL LIFE HERO 💯👏👏👏

Pran sahab ka popularity gazab ka tha. Woh bahut versatile bhi the. Raj kapoor ka kuch badnam bhi hain kuch kuch incident mein. Beautiful post rahoul bhai

Classic example of how money ruins relationships!

Pran , a great legend 👍💕

Raj kapoor should have paid full respect to pran's work with his due remuneration. In such a case, it is not impossible to break the friendship..very nice post rahoul

Pran n Helen are still my all time favourite,I lovvvvve them🌹🥰😘❤️😘

Have always heard very positive things about Pran sahab. Considering his kindness of only charging Re 1 for his role in Bobby, Raj Kapoor should have fairly rewarded him after Bobby turned out to be a Bumper Hit & paid him even a bit more than his usual fees. Relationships are difficult to build but easy to break & here is a perfect example of very good friendly relationship ruined by an act of stinginess.

I have always heard great things about Pran Saab. Raaj Saab is a legend in his own right. I am from a younger generaton and it is fascinating to learn about stories about them, although we are not worthy to judge such legends. Thank you so much for presenting the episode. Love it.

Raj Kapoor was no doubt a shrewd businessman, a jewller of talent, connoisseur of art,music,and many skills.He also knew market rate of Pran,and understanding .When he made blockbuster gain from success ,If I were him,would have paid him his market fee and a goodwill token extra money to him to share his success....knowing the kind of condition he was in.

A true gentleman v/ s a pure business man.

Always surprised to know about the the inside Bollywood stories of 70's & 80's...

Again a very nice and interesting video on the friendship between Raj & Pran. It was the big hearted Pran who agreed to do Bobby just in order to help his friend and signed the movie without even listening to his role in the film. It needs lots of guts to do such a thing. Saddened to learn that Raj Kapoor sent Pran Sahab a cheque of Rs.1 lac only...he did not even go to him personally to give the amount. Pran Sahab returning the cheque back shows that he was very much hurt by this attitude of Raj Kapoor. He had whole heartedly and in good faith acted in Bobby during the tough time of the Kapoors. I was unaware about this incident. And we the people never ever got to see borh these great actors together after 1973.. What a loss !!! Thanx for this wonderful video ..👍

He should have paid him more than market price as an act of gratitude. Raj Kapoor has no respect for person who helped him in need.

Praan saab was a great human being

Pran was right Raj Kapoor should have gave him more money than 1 lak he should have gave him 5 lak for helping .

Both wre great actors and great person. Their souls may rest in eternal peace

They both are legends..we respect them..Internal matter need not have to be considered by us as we do not know real inside story..Salute to Great Actors..

It was not just Rajesh Khanna who used to charge more than Pran. The other top hero of this time was Dharmendra, the only one who consistently delivered super hits. Along with Bobby, the bigger blockbuster of the same year was Yaadon ki Baraat

What a sad way to lose a friend :( Great presentation Rahoul 👏🏻

Raj Kapoor he should have given Pran over 300,000 in return for the favor, no one blames Pran for ending the friendship.

Raj Kapoor should have acted fairly like a gentleman as Parn Shaib was a adorable soul and a gentleman from the core of his heart but this is a gruesome industry where friendships are mostly on commercial base

Film Bobby ke kamaal ki kamaayi aur film mein Pran sahab ke behtareen abhinay ko dhyan mein rakhte huwe Raj sahab ko samjhna chahiye tha ki pran jaaye par vachan na jaaye.

Old days calculations..Raj Kapoor did mega movie..Nice Sir👍❤🌹🇬🇧🇬🇧

Incident reminds of Pran Shaab's famous song क़स्मे वादे प्यार वफ़ा सब, बातें हैं बातों का क्या कोई किसी का नहीं ये झूठे, नाते हैं नातों का क्या कसमे वादे प्यार वफ़ा सब, बातें हैं बातों का क्या'

When Bobby is launch Name of Shankar was declared as Music director What happened was not known and Laxmikant Pyarela and Anand Baxi are new entrant in RK camp Hasarat Jaipur the old face of RK camp has not selected

The way u present the story is impeccable ♥️♥️I am not such a big fan of boy-girl romance movies so, never watched Bobby. My favourite role of Pran Sir has to b of Rai Saab from Parichay. The way he played the character of the tough yet soft at heart,egoistic yet helpless n missunderstood grandfather, was commendable; he was the soul of the movie. He was a treasure of Indian film industry. I would love to hear more such trivia about Pran Sir in future too 🙂

प्राण साहब एक अच्छे कलाकार के साथ एक बहुत अच्छे इंसान थे। वो पर्दे पर खलनायक थे पर वास्तविक जीवन में बहुत अच्छे इंसान थे। राजकपूर जो पर्दे पर नायक थे उन्होंने प्राण साहब केवल इस्तेमाल किया

Rahul u r charismatic . I like your voice quality and delivery.

Great Sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤🤗🤗

आपकों सुनना आदत हो गई l you are the treasure 🙏🏼

Nice presentation Rahoul Sir. Bobby was a superhit movie and Raj kapoor saheb should have given Pran saab his market fees. Keep rocking the world🌏 👍✌❤🍫😊

Dosti k beech mein Raj Kapoor ki kanjoosi aa gai shayad aur paiso ki vajah se dosti tuti, kamaal hai! I admire Pran since childhood and he had such a long inning and versatility in his roles.

In real life Pran saab was a HERO and Raj Kapoor was a VILLAIN.

Video is so much interesting. I want know more about 70s bollywood and superstars...... it's right in 70s Rajesh khanna was the highest paid actor of Indian cinema....

Pran was a great human being ❤️

Pran Sahab was right 👍🏼

Ungrateful Rajkapoor, That's How Most Of The People Are Today...

Matlab Rahoul saab aap ki toh baat hi kuch bahut alag hai kya kahun aap ki har video ek se ek hoti hai pure full efforts ke saath matlab aapke videos ke liye rating toh infinity hai...... Best RU-vidr I had ever seen........

Both very likeable and approachable people - perhaps Raj Kapoor should have spoken with Pran before sending the cheque

It is well documented that Pran sab was an officer and a through gentleman. He was generous, kind, humble & a man of his word. I knew a senior Army Officer who was posted at Mumbai (than Bombay), he was staying close to Pran sab's bungalow. Both of them would exchange pleasantries almost everyday. Pran sab would often drive past in his convertible car. This officer, who was fond of convertibles came to know that Pran sab was selling that car, but the officer was unable to broach the topic with Pran sab, finally when he did ask him, Pran sab told him that he had just sold the car to a dealer, and if the Officer had only asked earlier he would have reduced the price further as it would have gone to an Army Officer. Such is the character of great men. As usual thank you Rahoul ji for another interesting anecdote. Rahoul ji you are amazing, you must write a book.

Filmy duniya ke dilchasp ansoone kisson ka khazana.. "70mm with Rahoul" Such captivating narration as always 👌🏻❤️

You have the gift of the gab. Another engaging narration that keeps the viewer curious to the last. There is another case of the legendary Raj Kapoor's foibles, where Shailendra, his dear friend, and an amazingly gifted lyricist had decided to helm his own production of Teesri Kasam. Raj Kapoor had played truant feigning fever kept him from making it for the shoot. Left with no choice but to pack up, Shailendra felt let down, keeping in mind the loss of time and money. But being the sensitive kind thought of the scenario another way. How could he be bothered with money matters while his friend suffered the chills, so decided to pay him a visit. On reaching the RK residence, Shailendra found his friend enjoying a game of cards with some cronies! Not one to pass a situation that warranted a bit of chiding, he is said to have quoted the lyric: Sajanre jhooth mat bolo, Khuda ke paas jaana hai! Na haathi hai, na ghoda hai, Wahan paidal he jaana hai!

The Great Pran Sahab. Thank you Rahul for sharing this info.

Considering this is a true story, then to hats off to both the legends. Thank you

People still talk about the movie Bobby , Actor Pran deserved the proper remuneration once the movie was such a success. There is no replacement for actor Pran as the greatest role play of villain in Indian cinema, even though he played kinda negative role but we all loved him as an actor 😍 glad to know through your channel these inside scoops

He really deserved 3 lakh. Waw thanks for the information.👍👍

Though the film was a hit, how much was left after recovering from Mera naam joker only Rk new only Rk new his accounts. Rk studios has always had debts due to its maintenance . As far as actors are concerned I have always felt that they are highly overpaid and other participants from technicians to music department are way underpaid. It has been so in the past and continues today also.

This is always the way a person who sees success always forgets true friends. Shame as Mr. Pran an amazing character and a true human being.

During 50s To 70s tough the trio Dilip, Raj and Dev were superstars and ruiling bollywood the one and only one mega super star was Pransaab he had acted with this trio in all form of acting and with his junior till 1996 when this 3 stop doing films he was equally paid actor along with his leading actors in those days no other actor had that repo of equal amount with leading actor.

Very very resourceful. Thank you Rahul.

Pran sir ko 1 lakh ka check vapas nhi krna tha balki 2 lakh orr mangne the

Evergreen stories about great LEGEND'S 🙏♥️ lajawab keep it up 👌❤️ god bless you sirji 🙏♥️

वाह , जितनी इंटरेस्टिंग घटना है उतने ही इंटरेस्टिंग तरीके से आपने नैरेट की है। बहुत खूब 👏👏👏👍👍

Great Actor Was Pran, As A Villian He Was Lovable Thanks Sire

Swabhimani Praan Sahab 🙏🏼

My father used to say that .pran sahab was very humble n down to earth man .as because my used to work as junior artist

Your videos are very addictive Rahoul. 👌👌👌

आप वो फैक्ट्स खोज कर लाते हैं जो आमतौर पर हमें नहीं पता होते, मज़ा आ जाता है

Raj kapur was a very selfish man.He was an opportunist.The way he treated Shailendra was very heinous.

श्रद्धय प्राणसाहबका कोइ जवाब नही ! उनका अभिनय जीवन्त तथा उनका अभिनयमेे प्राण हे । हिन्दी सिने जगतकी वह एक नक्षत्र हे ।हमारी नेपाली राष्ट्रिय पोशाक पहनकर किशोरकुमारकी स्वरमे " हम बोललेगा तो बोलेगेके बोलताा हे " बोलके गीतमे एक्टिङ भि किया चलचित्र कसौटी मे । प्राणसाहबने अगाध मित्रभावसे रााजकपुरको तन मन धन अौर बचनसे जो सहायता कि बदलामे नतीजा अलग निकली तो प्राणसाहबका दिलमे चोट लगी ... . यह जानकारी के लिय इस च्याानलका राहुलसाहबका सधन्यवाद ! एेसे खास बातौंका प्रतीक्षारत हूंं !

Not a good thing done by Raj Kapoor. That is not the way to show gratitude.

Your telling is this incident is fantastic I enjoyed your story telling skills Much appreciated from Toronto Canada

Raj sahab bahut chatur insaan the

Rahoul, I think Raj Kapoor was not fair to Pran, his “friend”. Pran worked his tail off, and delivered one of the best performances of his life, next to UPKAR(1967). This, in part, enabled Bobby to become a phenomenal success. I think RK, at least, should have and could have, paid Pran his usual three lakh fee. I have done the math. Pran was an honorable man. He died alone, in a chawl in Bombay, a broke, and broken man. You know, he never wanted to leave his beloved Lahore and come to Bombay. He came for “rozi roti”. May his life be an example to all of us. Rest In Peace, Pran sir. Kasme , Vaadey, Pyar, Wafa, sab, baatein hai, baaton ka kya. Koi kisi ka nahin, yeh zhoote nathey hai, naathon ka kya.

Thanks for sharing! Good on Pran. Raj should have given him the market price. Maybe there is more to the story. But Raj should have made up. Pran helped him when needed.

There's a story that after Pran saab refused to take the cheque, Raj Kapoor gifted him a big car to win him back. Can you get something about this gift car from archives? Thanks.

RAHOUL SAHAB NEW KNOWLEDGE V.D.O FOR ME PRAN SAHAB GREAT ADAKAR 👍👌👍

Pran saahab is not only reel life legendary actor but also most humble down to earth celebrity...also respect Raj kapoor,Miss you both sir..

मित्रता से बड़ी कोई चीज़ नहि होती , राज कपूर ने उस दोस्ती की लाज नहि रखी तो . खो दी दोस्ती , प्राण साहेब तो फिर प्राण थे, मेरी बुद्धि कहती है कि ठीक किया उन्होंने 🙏🙏❤️

A true gentleman and a friend. A friend in need is a friend in deed. Raj Kapoor was a businessman, never a friend to anyone. He also ditched Shailendra in “Teesri Kasam”.

♥️Raohuljee really v said to hear all about pranjee 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 speechless 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 M

great actor pransaab and premnath too

Pretty impressive research... like your videos. Thank you

Beautiful as always ♥️

Very interesting story of Raj Kapoor & Pran friendship story breaking after film Boby...

Great video love ❤️

Really a sad story. Friendship is something valuable.

As a child I hated Pran Sahab for being the baddest of all villains in Bollywood. Well I realized later what a great Actor he was !

Paida karne Wale ma baap Ko bhulo Jisne duniya banai hai usko bhulo Lekin Jisne bure waqt mein sath Diya ho Use kabhi na bhulo. Pran sir you are simply great Raj Kapoor is nothing in front of your generosity. Achcha Kiya sale ke cheque ke upar thug Diya

Great job sir...keep it up

One important missing link in this incident. RK was sure Mere Naam Joker was going to be a blockbuster. But his two great friends had left the film, mainly because of RK's attitude. Rajendra Kumar (he was the film's original Director) and Pran Sahab ( he was replaced by Monoj Kumar.) Pran had signed ' Johnny Mera Naam' and had a major role in it compared to the one offered to him in MNJ. Further, RK wanted Gulshan Rai and Vijay Anand to delay the realise of JMN, but they refused. RK took the challange with confidence that 'Johnny' will be a flop show in front of ' his life's love stories' 'Joker'. But the reverse happened, at Ganga-Jammuna Twin Theaters at Tardeo. When the bankrupt RK approached Pran Saheb, he must have felt that his role in JMN had indirectly been the cause of RK's financial suffering. Thus, to compensate, Pran saheb was ready to act for RK for Rs.1/-. But, after, Bobby went hit, RK, who was now of the opinion that Pran saheb had joined the rival Dev Anand camp, decided to pay him the same old price which he had offered him for Mera Naam Joker. This must have made Pran Saheb angry and he decided not to act with Rajkapoor again !

Aapka story telling style bahut bariya lagta hai mujhe. Main roj dekhta hu aapka video

Pran is my best actor among all the actors of Bollywood.

Man gaye aap sach me ustad ho Rahul ji...yaar ek video esa nikalo jisme ye purane jamane ke stars kitni fees lete they ye pta chle..ek curosity hai.

Pran was real Diamond of India and always will be
