Dev Saab liked the role, but he wanted Prakash Mehra to sell him the story so that he could make this movie in his own way ( and hopefully add one more flop to his CV). Thankfully Prakash Mehra refused and the rest, as they say, is history with Amitabh Bachchan playing that role.

Dev Anand was a popular hero in 1950s and 1960s. But unfortunately he did not know when to call it a day. He continued to act one fourth his age long into 1980s with most of his movies falling flat at the box office.
