She said, “Yeh film hui nahi. Yeh Raju Raja Ram kehke ek Marathi play hai aur uspe film banne wali thi. Ipse Salman (Khan), Chi Chi (Govinda), Jackie (Shroff) – teen hero aur main (star karne wale the). Iska photoshoot hua, publicity hua par woh film bani nahi. Maine Jackie ki film Grahan ki thi aur yeh second ya third film thi unki production ke liye. (This film wasn’t made. It was supposed to be a film adaptation of the Marathi play Raju Raja Ram. It was a three-hero film featuring Salman, Govinda and Jackie. A photoshoot was done but the film wasn’t made. This was the second or third film of Shroff’s production house.)”
