Rakhee said famously in an interview in 2012 that Rajesh Khanna brought good films into Indian Cienma and continued to propagate only good films from 60's to early 90's. But Amitabh Bachchan brought bad films after 1977 and Amitabh was not versatile actor right from 1970-2000 as he did only angry young man films and propagated violence from his films. Rakhee argued Amitabh was successful doing only angry young man films from 1975-1984 and after that even that failed. Rakhee was of opinion that Amitabh turned versatile only after 2002.
