‘Rajinikanth apologised’: Amrish Puri thought star was throwing his weight around, walked out

Amrish Puri's son, Rajeev Puri, has shed light on his father's close relationships with several Bollywood stars, including Sunny Deol, Ajay Devgn, Priyanka Chopra, and Rani Mukerji. Rajeev revealed that Sunny Deol and Ajay Devgn considered Amrish Puri as their father figures, with Sunny being particularly emotionally attached to his "Daddy." The actor's close bond with Sunny and Ajay was evident as they often paid respects to Amrish Puri whenever they passed by the family home.

Rajeev also recounted an incident where Sunny Deol and Ajay Devgn had refused to work with Amrish Puri due to his perceived arrogance. However, after Amrish apologized, they went on to collaborate on the film Thalapathi, with Amrish fondly remembering the experience. Additionally, Rajeev shared a heartwarming anecdote about Amrish Puri's chivalrous nature when he offered his vanity van to Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta on the sets of Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.

Upon noticing that the actresses' van had not arrived, Amrish insisted on using his own van to ensure their comfort and safety.
