Sunil Dutt mortgaged home to make film with Amitabh Bachchan, nearly went bankrupt | Bollywood News

There are very few artistes in the Hindi film industry who remain highly respected even years after they have passed, and late actor-producer Sunil Dutt is one such rare gem of the film industry. Sunil started his career in the movies in 1955, and just a couple of years later, he married the love of his life Nargis. Soon after, they welcomed their son Sanjay, and Nargis stopped working in the movies and Sunil accepted the sole financial responsibility of the household.

Other banners often looked to Raj, as if to seek his permission, before casting Nargis. She had also come to the difficult realisation that Raj was never going to leave his wife, and while this broke her heart, she had snapped out of the lovesick state that she had been locked in for almost a decade. This was right around the time when Mehboob Khan offered her Mother India, a …
