Dilwale was one of the biggest hits of the year it was released. The romantic action film was released in 1994 and starred Ajay Devgn, Sunil Shetty, Raveena Tandon, and Paresh Rawal in key roles. Raveena’s role was initially offered to Divya Bharti. However, her sudden demise led to the change. Now, over three decades later, the writer of the film has shared some insight into each cast member.
Karan Razdan revealed he was told he would cry on Dilwale’s release day
In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Karan Razdan shared some insights into the cast of his hit film, Dilwale and the film’s making. He revealed that once he was done shooting almost eight per cent of the film, he decided to show the film to filmmaker, Subhash Ghai. Karan revealed that Subhash’s reaction to the film left him shocked. He stated:
“He told me, ‘If you want to cry, cry right now because you are anyway going to cry on the film’s release day.’ I asked why. He asked me, ‘Do you have any grudge against Ajay Devgn? He is not even presentable as a mad person.’ He couldn’t comment much on Suniel Shetty as he was relatively new in the industry. On the other hand, Raveena Tandon had delivered about 12 flops. People used to tease me, saying, ‘Tervi aapki hogi.'”
