From Giving Us Shah Rukh Khan In Darr To Having This One Complaint From Amitabh Bachchan: Rishi Kapoor FACTS

The Towel Connection:

We all remember how important of a role the ‘towel’ played in Ranbir Kapoor’s Saawariya. But as they say, ‘like father like son’, even Rishi Kapoor had a very entertaining stint including towel in his debut film Bobby.

Equation with Amitabh Bachchan:

Rishi Kapoor always had this one complaint with Amitabh Bachchan that “He has never given due credit to the actors who have worked with him.” He opened about the same in his autobiography Khullam Khulla. Shashi Kapoor (Deewar), Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha, Dharmendra and he himself (AAA and Coolie) played the other lead role with Amitabh in these films.
