Inder Raj Anand tried a lot not to become a part of Tinu film industry, but when Tinu did not agree, he was sent to Satyajit Ray and taught him the tricks of film making. Actually, Tinu Anand was first cast in Amitabh Bachchan’s first film ‘Saat Hindustani’, but in the meantime Inder Raj got a letter from Satyajit Ray, in which it was written that Tinu can work with me. After receiving this letter, Tinu left the film and left for Kolkata and in those days Amitabh was looking for work in the film, he got this film. Tinu worked as an assistant director with Satyajit Ray for a full 5 years. Later acted in many films and made many films. Tinu was most liked in the role of Villain.
Tinu forcibly persuaded Amitabh for ‘Kalia’
Amitabh Bachchan worked in many films under the direction of Tinu Anand. Tinu Anand made films like ‘Kalia’, ‘Shahenshah’, ‘Major Saab’, ‘Main Azad Hoon’ with Amitabh. A funny anecdote is about ‘Kalia’. Tinu wanted to narrate the story of ‘Kalia’ to Amitabh Bachchan. Since Amitabh was a popular actor of the film industry at that time and was shooting for the film ‘Don’. Due to paucity of time, Amitabh refused to give time to Tinu. Tinu did not give up and insisted that he would make this film with Amitabh only.
Success of ‘Kalia’ is a milestone for Amitabh
Tinu went to Amitabh again after about 6 months. When Amitabh asked to narrate the story, Tinu kept telling the story to him for 15 minutes and after that asked ‘when to start shooting for the film’. Didn’t even give Amitabh a chance to think. Everyone knows that the film ‘Kalia’ proved to be a milestone in Amitabh’s career.
