“I didn’t buy a new phone for a whole year and kept using the one that was in tatters just to tide through.” Johny Lever was one of the actors in the film he played the protagonist’s friend, Jaddu.

It was, in Devgn’s words, the lowest point of his career as he spent the next few months returning and paying people off and living in relative austerity. It was an expensive film and Devgn says that while it did decently at the box office, they still ended up incurring losses largely because of the film’s cost. In 2000, Devgn produced and acted in a film called Raju Chacha, which was directed by his brother, Anil Devgan. While they may have aggressively competed with one another, Devgn has, in many ways, complemented them-always being a companion rather than a threat.
