Did you know Sunny Deol's 1996 film caused a havoc after releasing in theatres? No producer were ready to back this film, despite this the film was a blockbuster hit. Published: November 9, 2024 8:15 AM IST By Edited by The 1960s was the year of Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi where the two men were considered a promising duo. Wherever the duo collaborated, they often nailed in films.
Sunny and Rajkumar broke multiple records together in the film industry and raised the bars of Bollywood. They even worked together in films like Ghayal (1990) and Damini (1993), once again the duo reunited together in a film that took almost five years to make and had multiple complications. The film we are talking about is Sunny Deol’s Ghatak.
For a brief moment, news reports claimed that Ghatak was to get shelved due to multiple factors. However, all these rumours were put to an end after Ghatak was released in 1996 for which Sunny Deol and veteran actor Amirsh Puri were given awards. Now talking about why Ghatak took five long years to get released.
Film director, Rajkumar Santoshi was busy shooting Andaz Apna Apna and Barsaat, which delayed Ghatak’s making. On the other hand, Raveena Tandon was the preferred choice to pair up with Sunny Deol however, things didn’t go as usual. Shortly after 10 days, Raveena Tandon left the sets of Ghatak due to personal reasons, and later actress Meenakshi Sheshadri was asked to step in.
Surprisingly, it was Meenakshi’s last film. Many may not know.
