Wholl settle for if Hema Malini turns into Zeenat Aman’: Yash Chopra rejected Poonam Dhillon’s pitch for Yeh Vaada Raha story

Poonam Dhillon on Yash Chopra dismising her pitch for Yeh Vaada Raha story

Poonam recalled studying the ebook throughout her journey to Japan. After returning to India she instructed Yash Chopra concerning the plot. “I told Yashji. I said, ‘Yashji, ek bohot achchi kahani maini padhi hai (I have read a good story). I think it’s a lovely story’. He said, ‘I don’t read books, you give it to Pam, she’ll read it and tell me’. So I said, ‘Okay’. Yeah, so Pam ji read it probably again in a day. It was a very fast read. And she gave him the narration of the subject. And I was very excited waiting for his reaction. So I said, Yash ji, you read it, Pam ji told you. He said, ‘Yes, yes. But this film, our Hindi audience won’t accept it’. I said, ‘Why Yash ji, it’s such a good story, you know, romantic story, everything’,” stated Poonam.

As per Yash, there was a flaw within the story, which, in keeping with him, renders it unsuitable for the Hindi viewers. “He said, acha ek baat bta. Hema Malini Zeenat Aman ban jaae, kon accept karega (Tell me one thing. If Hema Malini becomes Zeenat Aman, who will accept)?’ He finished my dream there and then, and the story was over. Yash Chopra toh nhi banane waale the (Chopra was not going to make it),” stated Poonam.

Poonam later realised Yash Chopra was proper about viewers’s response

Years later, Poonam was pitched the same story by the makers of Yeh Vaada Raha, which she instantly accepted. However, after the movie’s struggling efficiency on the field workplace, Poonam recalled Yash’s suggestions on the story. “And sure, it proved right enough. At that time, plastic surgery wasn’t something people would accept so easily. And that whole face has changed, and the same person is etc. So, it didn’t work well at that time,” she added.
