Yaarana completes 36 years. Big B becomes nostalgic

The movie has completed 36 years of its release.

Bachchan said the movie still  resounds among the polity of the nation.

"And YARAANA completes 36 years .. what a time we had making this film .. it was a scream .. the locations the co artists the hilarious and at times intense moments .. but eventually ending up in a film that still resounds among the polity of the nation .. particularly the music," Bachchan wrote in his blog.

"Our team was filled yet again with some crazy Librans - Rakesh the director, Amjad Khan, Kader Khan, and yours truly .. ever in the effort to enjoy rather than can film for the film ..

Most talked about of course was the song with the lit jacket, which was my idea and the location to shoot it in Kolkata at the Netaji Subhas Stadium recently constructed then, was also my input ..  and what a moment," h said.

A nostalgic Bachchan went on saying: "The stadium packed beyond limits, the police and the forces having a tough time controlling the crowds and an altercation with the forces and the crowd member resulting in the audience ripping the cemented seats of the stadium and throwing it in the bowl of the arena, resulting in our leading lady getting extreme anxiety pangs and insisting on leaving the location, in tears and going back to Mumbai .. we did eventually go back because the work was incomplete but the L&O situation was incontrollable ..And to make matters worse, when we came out in our cars to go back to our Hotel, around 20,000 excited fans ran along with us and surrounded the car carrying Neetu ji and myself."

Yaarana is a 1981 Indian musical drama film directed by Rakesh Kumar and starring Amitabh Bachchan, Amjad Khan, Neetu Singh, Tanuja and Kader Khan. This was one of the films where Amjad Khan plays a positive role.
