Sridevi on the sets of Bhagwaan Daada with Rakesh Roshan

Sridevi on the sets of Bhagwaan Daada with the film's producer, director and co-star Rakesh Roshan. They had the cutest comedic scenes together in the film. 

Rakesh Roshan had triple duty in the film, as producer, actor and director. Originally, the film was directed by Rakesh Roshan's father-in-law J. Om Prakash, but soon after the film started production, J. Om Prakash fell ill and Rakesh Roshan had to direct portions to complete the film on time. It ended up being a trial by fire as Rakesh learned hard and fast on the job - and went on to become a wildly successful director and film producer. In fact, his success as producer and director far exceeds his career as a leading man in the 70s and 80s. 

Released 25 April 1986.

Didn't know Dilip Kumar had worked with Sridevi on film - here's proof that they did! The same year, they also worked together in Karma.
