Why Siddharth Mallya called Deepika Padukone “crazy female” ?

Bobby was a luck, as it was a desperate attempt to recover the losses made by Raj Kapoor’s previous films, Mera Naam Joker and Kal, Aaj Aur Kal. He couldn’t afford Rajesh Khanna, and so he launched his 20-year-old son, Rishi Kapoor with Dimple Kapadia. The duo were considered an iconic pair, with people drawing comparisons to Raj Kapoor and Nargis

Rishi Kapoor in an interview said, “Bobby was a film made because Raj Kapoor had to be bailed out. He had this studio mortgage. Whatever money he earned all his life, was always invested in his films. It all kept rolling. It was never invested in any other kind of industrial zone…it was always his films. He was so passionate about his films.”
