This story is based on the story of a super flop Tamil film, which was remade in Hindi and then became a superhit in Hindi.
In 1991, Shabnam Kapoor watched a Tamil film “Vasant Ragam” which she liked very much, and she decided to make a Hindi film based on the story of this film. He called S.A. Chandrasekhar, director of “Vasantha Ragam” and proposed him to make this film in Hindi. But SA Chandrasekhar said that this Vasantha Ragam is a super flop film, so do not make a film on this story.
But Shabnam Kapoor decided that she would definitely make a film on this story. After some time, he meets Guddu Dhanua, who is Dharmendra’s maternal uncle’s son. Shabnam informed Guddu about this story, and Guddu also liked this story. After this, Guddu gave the responsibility of making this film to a new director, Raj Kanwar, and made a film based on this story by slightly manipulating the story.
The name of the film was “Deewana,” which was Shahrukh Khan’s first released film. In this way, when a film was made in Hindi based on the story of a super flop Tamil film, it became a superhit in Hindi.
