1970s film director Mahesh Bhatt reshot a film due to actress Parveen Babi's mental health issues, replacing her with Rekha.

Film director Mahesh Bhatt recently reflected on his relationship with actress Parveen Babi in the 1970s, revealing that her mental health issues led him to reshoot an entire film, initially featuring Babi and Dev Anand, with Rekha due to financial difficulties. Their three-year romance began after Babi's split from actor Kabir Bedi in 1977, but mental health struggles, including paranoid schizophrenia, affected their relationship and led to Babi's isolation from public life. She tragically passed away at age 50 in 2005.
