|
| Akhtar Mirza’s story for Naya Daur had been rejected by some other filmmakers like the legendary Mehboob Khan. |
|
| Dilip Kumar had never worked with B R Chopra before Naya Daur, though the filmmaker had delivered hits like Afsana, Chandni Chowk and Ek Hi Raasta. So the actor refused to hear out the script! |
|
| B R Chopra went to his favourite actor Ashok Kumar, who heard the script patiently and then remarked, “The script is very good. But I feel that I will not suit the role. I will end up looking too urban for the character.” |
|
| Dilip Kumar was so excited after hearing Naya Daur’s script that he refused to leave B R Chopra’s home till he signed a contract and got a signing amount! |
|
| Naya Daur’s original heroine Madhubala refused to shoot at a particular outdoor location. B.R. Chopra took her to court and Dilip Kumar swore eternal allegiance to her in court to rule out any involvement on his part in her ouster. |
|
| When Vyjayantimala stepped in Naya Daur, the full-page ads prominently had Madhubala’s name emblazoned with a black cross to signify that she had been sacked. And after that came Vyjayantimala’s name. |
|
| Naya Daur was the first-ever film to celebrate a Silver Jubilee at more than one theatre in Mumbai. |
