My name is Prem, Prem Chopra..!

 

Every actor in the history of Hindi cinema has his own iconic dialogues, which make him recognizable. Amjad Khan's dialogue like 'Are O Samba..' from the movie Sholay or Amrish Puri's 'Mogambo Khush Hua'. Rajesh Khanna's 'Ro Mat Pushpa I Hate Tears' or Amitabh Bachchan's 'Peter, Tum Mujhe Bahur Khundo Ra Ho Aur Mai Tumhara Intezaar Hiye Intezaar Kar Raha Ho' by Rajesh Khanna have become iconic dialogues in Indian cinema. The villain Prem Chopra's dialogue 'Prem Naam Hai Mera, Prem Chopra' in the movie 'Bobby' has become a huge hit.

Even though there is only one dialogue, this character emerges in the film, which is great for a director like Raj Kapoor. To create a separate identity for each character in the film! Raj Kapoor is called the Midas touch, it's not a lie. But did you know? Prem Chopra did not like this dialogue at all. He was also not happy with his role in this film. He also often felt that he accepted this role too much while playing this role. But the director of the film, Raj Kapoor, was his sadu.( Raj Kapoor's wife Krishna and Prem Chopra's wife Uma are full sisters!) So it was difficult to refuse. The story of this dialogue is equally fantastic. The movie Bobby was released in the year 1973. Raj Kapoor's financial condition was not very good while making this film. Because the film Mera Naam Joker was a superflop and the subsequent film 'Kal Aaj Aur Kal' was also not a success. Two consecutive flops, including the death of Jaikishan again in Shankar Jaikishan, the death of his father Prithviraj Kapoor in 1972. One after another such shocks were hitting Raj Kapoor. So they made sure that they did not spend much while making the movie 'Bobby'.

He took his own son Rishi Kapoor as the hero of this movie. Newcomer Dimple Kapadia was cast as the heroine. His brother-in-law Premnath (Raj Kapoor's wife Krishna was Premnath's sister) was cast in the film. Also, Pran acted in the film at a very low rate. Similarly, Sadu Prem Chopra was given a small role in this film. But Prem Chopra had no idea about this. Because by then he had become an establishmentist villain. Raj Kapoor only told him, “You want to play the villain in Bobby films. Come to Pune for shooting!” Prem Chopra was happy. Because for the first time he was getting to act in RK Banner's film. He felt that Raj Kapoor would have written a big role for him. There will be good dialogues. That makes them happy. In that joy, he reached Pune at the shooting location. After going there, he asked Raj Kapoor, "What is my role?" Raj Kapoor said, "You want to make a guest appearance in this film!" A bomb fell on Prem Chopra. They said, guest appearance?” Raj Kapoor said, "Yes". On this Prem Chopra said, “I am currently playing a full-fledged villain. So this guest appearance role will kill my image.” On this, Raj Kapoor said, "For now, this is the only role I have left in this film. I will definitely give you a good role in the next film.” ” For now, this is the only role I have left in this film. I will definitely give you a good role in the next film.” ” For now, this is the only role I have left in this film. I will definitely give you a good role in the next film.”

 Prem Chopra was upset. But how to refuse Raj Kapoor? A relationship happens. Moreover, Raj Kapoor's name was very big in the cine industry. He said, “Okay. Give me my dialogue.” Raj Kapoor said, “No. In this movie, you only have to say one dialogue, Prem Naam Hai Mera, Prem Chopra…”

But now Prem Chopra was bewildered. Either gas guest appearance in it again only one dialogue. They were very upset. But tell who? However, he expressed his grief to his brother-in-law Premnath. He said, "Look, don't you?" One role is short and only one dialogue. What shall we do?” On this Premnath said, “Don't go over the length and breadth of the role. Rest assured this movie is going to be a super hit and your dialogue will be a super hit too! This dialogue of yours will keep popping up in the audience's mouths, even though this role is small for you, it is going to be very memorable!” On that day, Saraswati was living on Premnath's tongue. The film was shot. Prem Chopra finished his shoot and left for Mumbai. Later the film released and became a superhit from day one. The songs, music, artists, dialogues of the film all became super hits. Prem Chopra's role was discussed everywhere. Prem Chopra painted many villains later in life. A lot of long dialogues were spoken. But even today, no matter what program he goes to, the audience always insists on his dialogue in Bobby 'Prem Naam Hai Mera, Prem Chopra...'
