Overview
- KC Bokadia’s recent IndiaTV interview, summarized by The Indian Express and The Times of India, shares fresh memories of working with Raaj Kumar.
- He said the actor called people “Jaani” because it was his dog’s name, a habit Bokadia framed as affectionate rather than mocking.
- Bokadia described Raaj Kumar as moody and harder to handle than Amitabh Bachchan, saying this temperament shaped how he approached work.
- He recalled persuading the star to film the muhurat, a ritual first shot that opens a production, for Police Aur Mujrim on just one day’s notice.
- He also recounted a brisk pay negotiation that he says ended at Rs 25 lakh, illustrating the premium Raaj Kumar commanded in the early 1990s.
