The film 'Silsila' released in 1981 may have been a flop at the box office, but its songs and story were highly appreciated by the people. The story of this film was written by Yash Chopra keeping in mind the real life of a superstar. In his last interview with Shahrukh Khan in 2012, Yash Chopra also shared some stories related to this film.

Yash Chopra's revelation in his last interview with Shahrukh Khan: On Yash Chopra's 80th birthday, Shahrukh Khan asked him many interesting questions. A few months after this interview, Yash Chopra died in October 2012. During the interview, when Shahrukh asked him to tell stories related to the film 'Silsila', Yash Chopra told that he had made this film based on the real life of Amitabh Bachchan.

Interesting story of the casting of the film: At that time, the news of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha's affair was in the news, and it was also said that Jaya Bachchan was very upset about this. Initially, Amitabh Bachchan, Parveen Bobby and Smita Patil were cast in the film. Some shots were also taken, but Yash Chopra was not happy, because he actually wanted to cast Rekha and Jaya Bachchan in the film. When he talked to Amitabh about this, he said it was difficult.

Difficulties faced during the shooting of 'Silsila': Yash Chopra was known for perfection in his work, so he himself talked to Rekha and Jaya Bachchan. Rekha agreed, but it was very difficult to convince Jaya Bachchan. Bringing these two actresses together during the shooting was also challenging. But finally, the film was completed and released. Although the film did not get a good response at the box office, the discussions about Amitabh and Rekha's affair gained even more momentum.

Rekha and Amitabh's separation after 'Silsila': The songs of 'Silsila' became superhits, and the story of the film was also inspired by Amitabh Bachchan's real life, as Yash Chopra himself told. When the news of this affair appeared in newspapers and magazines, Jaya Bachchan was very upset. It is said that Jaya Bachchan decided that she would never let Amitabh work with Rekha again. This is the reason why Amitabh and Rekha were never seen together again after 'Silsila'.
