Rajesh
Khanna
was
India's
first
superstar
and
highest
paid
actor
of
his
time.
He
is
the
only
actor
till
date
to
give
15
superhit
films
continuously.
But
the
actor
took
success
for
granted
and
started
throwing
starry
tantrums.
It
is
said
that
after
becoming
superstar
Rajesh
Khanna
became
totally
unprofessional
in
his
behaviour.
He
used
to
come
late
on
sets
and
his
day
used
to
start
at
3
pm.
He
thought
he
was
a
god
and
people
should
wait
for
him.
However,
producers
did
not
complain
because
they
knew
that
once
the
movie
will
release,
it
will
recover
all
the
money.
And
also
Rajesh
Khanna
used
to
finish
the
entire
day's
work
in
hours.
Rajesh
Khanna
forced
the
directors
to
include
death
scene
in
his
movies.
He
was
famous
for
changing
the
script
of
the
films
according
to
his
liking.
Khanna
was
scared
of
only
one
director,
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee,
he
worked
with
him
in
movies
like
Anand,
Namak
Haram
and
Bawarchi.
