Wrong! Try again..
Wrong!
The correct answer is Zanjeer
This 1973-release made a star out of Amitabh Bachchan and started his long association with director Prakash Mehra (Muqaddar Ka Sikander, Laawaris, Sharaabi et al). The movie, loosely based on the spaghetti-Western Death Rides A Horse, was initially offered to Raaj Kumar, who refused to work with the director on the grounds that he could not stand the smell of the latter's hair oil.
Correct!
