Silsila was the last movie that captured Amitabh and Rekha in a single frame. The movie talked about the subject of extramarital relationships, in which Jaya Bachchan played the role of Amitabh's wife, while Rekha took up the character of his lover.
The movie is known for some of the best action and comedy sequences. The duo’s scenes together were the soul of this entire action-comedy and the film also has one of the best picturised romantic songs featuring Amitabh and Rekha- ‘Pardesia.’
In the film, Rekha took the role of a courtesan who falls in love with a troubled Amitabh. The famous song ‘Salaam-e-Ishq Meri Jaan’ featuring Rekha and Amitabh is from this movie.
Amitabh and Rekha's chemistry in this movie was simply amazing. In the film, Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna played the role of tough guys with gentle hearts. Rekha took up the role of village girl and love interest of Amitabh in the movie.
The film was one of the first projects that Rekha and Amitabh worked on. This drama-thriller has Rekha playing the role of an ambitious woman and Amitabh takes the role of a man who gets cheated on by both his lover and his best friend. The duo’s chemistry shined throughout the movie.
