Makers did not cast both together
If seen today, two or three big stars are often seen together in films. But this was not the case in earlier times. At the time of Rajesh Khanna and Pran Saheb, people used to be afraid to cast both of these successful heroes and villains together in the same film, most of the producer directors used to take only one of these two in their film. Although they worked together in many successful films, but despite this, the producers did not cast the two together.

The huge fees of both were the main reason
Both Pran and Rajesh Khanna were big stars of their times. While Rajesh Khanna used to charge huge fees as a star, Pran used to earn a lot as a villain. He was paid a hefty fee for his amazing villainy. Both Pran and Rajesh Khanna were the highest paid actors in their era. After the box-office success of his film ‘Aradhana’, Rajesh Khanna increased his fees and used to charge around Rs 20 lakh for a film, which was very high in those days. Despite the high fees, producers used to cast him to make their films successful.
