Madhuri Dixit and Amitabh Bachchan
Filmmaking is not an easy process. Many a times films have been announced and have been eventually cancelled. Sometime films go on floors, only to be shelved mid-way. There can be multiple reasons for the same and some of the biggest artists in the film industry have faced this in their career. Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit, who have had illustrious careers, were deprived of working together in a film after atleast three films of theirs got shelved. In the later 80s and early 90s, the two stars were supposed to share screen space, but it never materialised.
Long ago, during her appearance on Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss to promote her film `Dedh Ishqiya`, Madhuri revealed how she shot with amitabh Bachchan but the film was never released. "Amit ji and I shot for 1.5 hours for a film that eventually got shelved. The film was called `Shanakth`". The film was being directed by Tinnu Anand. The reason for the film getting shelved is not public knowledge.
