The answer came as bolt from blue to director Farah Khan when she invited Dev Anand to do a special appearance in Om Shanti Om.

He reportedly told her, "I am Dev Anand. I never do special appearances. I never did, and will never do in the future."

When a journalist asked him recently why he said so, the legendary romantic hero said, "Because I am Dev Anand and I have always played the main lead, in any film in which I acted."

Such was not the case for other yesteryear stars like as Dharmendra and Jeetendra. Not only did they appear in the OSO song, but also got their sons Bobby Deol and Tusshar Kapoor along for the ride.
