Arrival of Angry Young Man
If stories to be believed, veteran actor Om Prakash called up his friend Dilip Kumar, after watching Amitabh Bachchan in Parwana, and screamed 'Tera waqt poora ho gaya, ab tera baap aa gaya hai' (Your days are numbered, your father has arrived). Zanjeer came next year and He actually arrived!
