Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood. There would technically be no actor who would refuse to share screen space with Big B. Sharing screen space with the superstar is an experience every actor in Bollywood would not turn down. However, back in the day, there was one actor who refused to share the screen with the actor. The actor rejected the opportunity to work not just with Amitabh Bachchan, but also one of the most successful directors of the 70s and 80s.

According to media reports, the actor who turned down the opportunity to work with Bachchan was Feroz Khan. Khan was approached by Prakash Mehra to star in ‘Hera Pheri’ alongside Amitabh Bachchan. However, Khan turned down the role.

Feroz Khan was known for his roles in films like ‘Arzoo’ (1965), ‘Mela’ (1971), ‘Upaasna’ (1971), ‘Kala Sona’ (1975), and ‘Welcome’ (2007) to name a few. The actor passed away in April 2009 after battling lung cancer.
