Rekha came to Mumbai from Chennai in 1969. The first film he signed was titled ‘Anjaana Safar’, which was directed by Kuljeet Pal. At that time his age was 15 years. According to author Yasser Usman’s book ‘Rekha: The Untold Story’, Kuljeet was a Nairobi-based businessman who came to Bombay (now Mumbai) to produce a film. When his second film Rajkumar, Mumtaz and Hema Malini starrer ‘Galiyon Ka Raja’ got stuck due to conflict between star cast and director, he went to Madras (now Chennai) for the casting of his next film ‘Anjaana Safar’. He cast Biswajeet for the film and started looking for a new face opposite him. It was during this time that he met Rekha for the first time.
