During the course of the conversation, while talking about the history of superstars in the film industry, Taran mentioned the late Rajesh Khanna whose reign was cut short by the ‘Angry Young Man’ Amitabh Bachchan. Reminiscing about his conversation, Taran says, “Rajesh Khanna, did have a good run, but it was not long. This was because of the new age 'Angry Young Man' and who is still in the industry, Amitabh Bachchan.
