Century megastar Amitabh Bachchan's film 'Sharabi' which was released in the year 1983. This film was directed by Prakash Mehra. In those days, Amitabh Bachchan's another film 'Mard' had released from the theaters and 'Sharabi' had started. 'Mard' was directed by Manmohan Desai. Cold war was going on between the directors of both the films, because there was a huge shortage of theaters in those days. Manmohan Desai was very angry at the removal of his film from the Alankar theater and in this anger he said something about Prakash Mehra's film that there was a tussle between Prakash Mehra and him. Manmohan said- 'Only a drunkard can make a film like a drunkard.' Prakash Mehra was not going to remain silent after hearing this, he also said- 'Only the person who made Coolie can have such dirty thoughts. Well this series went on for a long time, but the fact is that Manmohan Desai's film came out of the theater and Prakash Mehra's film was liked by the audience and proved to be a hit.
