I had done a lot of work with Hrishida before Chupke Chupke,  but of a very serious nature, like  Anupama and Satyakam, which were both with  Dharamji (Dharmendra). These are not easy-viewing cinema. In one (Anupama) I hardly spoke. So when Hrishida offered  to a  do fun film we all jumped at it.” On paper, Chupke  Chupke  sounded really bonkers. “With comedy one  never knows how it lands.
