He was always excited about movies, but this was very special for him."
Talking about the song Dard-e-dil Dard-e-jigar, where Rishi entertains the audience by playing the violin, Neetu added, “You know there’s a violin scene in the movie, where he’s playing the violin, to perfect that, he went to see a violinist, to observe the body language. If you see in the movie, he lifts his shoulder to place the violin perfectly and he used to practise that for hours. That’s how dedicated he was to his film."
Karz was released in June 1980 and became a classic. In 2008, a remake of the film was made, featuring Himesh Reshammiya in the lead role. Other than the late Rishi Kapoor, Tina Ambani and Simi Garewal, the Subhash Ghai directorial also featured Raj Kiran, Pran, Premnath and Durga Khote in key roles.
