This film motivated me to move to Mumbai… so if get a chance to make Trishul 2, I would be extremely grateful and honoured. It’s my dream film to make Trishul with Bachchan Sahib in today’s context,” he added.
Released in 1978, ‘Trishul’ stars Big B alongside Sanjeev Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini and Raakhee.
