But it has also become a tribute to Dharmendra ji now, as visitors can’t help but recall the iconic song ‘Yeh Dosti’ and his unforgettable presence when they see it,” Magdum said.The bike was put on display to celebrate 50 years of the Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra-starrer film where they play Jai-Veeru. The two friends ride around in the motorcycle with a sidecar while singing ‘Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge’.The five-minute song sequence, which was shot on this bike took 21 days to shoot, read the information that is displayed alongside the bike."BSA WM20 was part of BSA’s massive wartime contribution to Britain's war effort, 1937 was its first year of production that would last until the late 1950s. The ‘W’ in the model designation signifies that it was specifically-designed to be a military motorcycle," the display further read.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
