LOL! Farhan Akhtar gets ‘Mera Baap Writer Hai’ ‘tattooed’ on his hand : Bollywood News

You are not a true Bollywood lover if you have not seen the classic Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Deewaar. Released in 1975, it was exciting to see the warring brothers on the opposite side of the law in this crime drama. The performances were first-rate and the dialogues and script, penned by Salim-Javed, were terrific. One of the unforgettable points of the film is Vijay (essayed by Amitabh Bachchan) being forced to have a tattoo that bore the words ‘Mera Baap Chor Hai’.
