Robert invited about 12 directors to make this film, including Francis Ford Cupola himself. Everyone denied it, and no director wanted to make a gangster film or a mafia film in those days. Francis Ford Cupola, who had to make a film in his own style and according to his mood, so in the end he agreed to direct this film. Apart from Marlon Brando in the entire film, there was not a single actor whom people knew very well and Marlon’s career was not going well.
