No clue about Abhimaan rights

It has been 44 years since the release of Amitabh Bachchan’s film Abhimaan, but the actor says he still does not know about who holds the rights for the movie! Directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Abhimaan, which featured Amitabh alongside his wife Jaya Bachchan, revolved around a popular singer, who encourages his wife to sing, but marital discord sets in when her popularity surpasses his and jealousy rages. “Amiya — the production name — Ami from Amitabh and Ya from Jaya; and our respective secretaries were looking after the nitty-gritties while we worked. But as is with most such productions, things went out of hand and we ended up with nothing. The rights still belong to ‘dunno who’; perhaps one of the secretaries,” he shared. — IANS
