Veteran filmmaker Anil Sharma reflects on the love, trust and destiny that linked him to the late Dharmendra
His association with Dharmendra, which began technically in 1980 when he was an assistant director, now extends to what director Anil Sharma terms as “my entire being”.
From a fan, he went on to direct him in five films and in a cameo in a sixth—Singh Saab The Great—and also produce Policewala Gunda. Memories of this icon remain priceless treasures for this filmmaker.
Excerpts from the interview:
How did you meet Dharmendra?
