Then Amitabh Zeenat Aman and director Chandra Barot advised him to make another film. He met Nariman Irani during the shooting of the film Roti Kapda Aur Makaan. Nariman was the cinematographer of this film and Chandra Barot was the assistant director to Manoj Kumar. Don was released at a time when Amitabh Bachchan was in the news due to Zanjeer. Amitabh Zeenat and Chandra Barot together assured Nariman Irani that they would not charge anything for this film. Yes if the film becomes a hit then they will take their fees but if it becomes a loss then they will not take any money. On the advice of friends Nariman agreed to make Don. The direction of the film was handed over to Chandra Barot and Amitabh Bachchan. Zeenat Aman was finalised for the lead roles but till now the story of the film remains unknown. When Don was released on the big screen the film did not get much response from the audience in the first week but then the audience started liking the film. The audience showered so much love on this film that it became the third biggest hit of the year. In that period the film earned around 7 crore 20 lakhs. There were 5 songs in the film and all five were superhits.
