What Dino said

During the interaction, Dino opened up about the success of Raaz and said, “That film was a big rage. Agar uss saal dekhe, woh bhi release hui. Shah Rukh [Khan] ki Devdas, with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. But if we look at the numbers, in terms of hum ne apne picture mein kitna kharcha kiya aur kitna paisa kamaya… aur Devdas, our was the bigger and higher grossing film (both released in the same year but if you look at the numbers, in terms of how much we spent on our film and how much we earned versus Devdas, ours was a bigger hit) of that year.”

‘Devdas won everything that year’

He went on to add, “Even though we just won two awards and we didn’t win anything for music. The music of that film was so popular, people still listen to it even today. But not a single award for the music. We got the new jodi award but no awards for music. Devdas won everything that year, they took all the awards. It was a big film so perception wise it was bigger but if we look at the revenue, ours was the profitable film.”

Raaz was a 2002 supernatural horror film directed by Vikram Bhatt. The film also stars Malini Sharma. It revolves around Aditya (Dino) and Sanjana (Bipasha Basu), a couple, who move to Ooty to save their failing marriage. However, they find out that their new home is haunted.

In the work front, Dino was last seen in the Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer Mere Husband Ki Biwi.
