Sholay's Hidden Five-Star Hotels on Set

Sholay's Hidden Five-Star Hotels on Set

The famous Bollywood film Sholay was shot in a very hot and dry place.

The actors like Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan had to work in very hot conditions.

To make them comfortable, the filmmakers built special places to stay that looked like small houses from the outside but were like fancy hotels inside.

These places had air conditioning and other comforts.

The actors could rest and change there.

A long time later, an actor named Sachin Pilgaonkar told everyone about these secret hotel-like places.

It's interesting because no one knew about them for many years, even though they were right there in the film.
