When Deewana released on June 25, 1992, it introduced Hindi cinema to a young Shah Rukh Khan and changed the course of Bollywood history. The film went on to become the second-highest-grossing Hindi release of the year, launched Shah Rukh as a leading man and gave audiences one of the decade’s most memorable soundtracks. But the road to Deewana was anything but smooth. Details about the film’s journey to the screen were recently shared by YouTube channel Stories By Shekhar, which recounted how a director’s exit, a hero’s walkout and Shah Rukh Khan’s initial reluctance nearly changed the fate of the film. The story began with producer Guddu Dhanoa, who was trying to rebuild his career after suffering heavy losses from his 1989 production Gola Barood. Along with partners Lalit Kapoor and Raju Kothari, Dhanoa was searching for a project that could revive their fortunes. During a visit to Chennai, the trio watched the Tamil film Vasantha Raagam and decided to remake it in Hindi. That remake would eventually become Deewana. Coincidentally, the film was …

3 min readNew DelhiFeb 9, 2026 06:44 PM IST Divya Bharti was just 16 when she entered the film industry and only 19 when her life came to a sudden, tragic end. In a career that lasted barely three years, she featured in 22 films and was already being compared to Sridevi—hailed by many as the next big thing of Indian cinema. But destiny had other plans. Her meteoric rise was cut short on April 5, 1993, when she fell from the balcony of her Mumbai apartment. Behind the dazzling success, however, lay a far more complicated emotional reality. ‘We went to discos and bars’ Child actor Master Raju, who shared a close bond with Divya, recently spoke to Siddharth Kannan about the actress, offering rare insights into her personal life. “Divya Bharti and Pooja Bhatt were the two heroines I was really close to,” he recalled. “They were kind, not filmy at all. I spent a lot of time with Divya—we went to discos and bars together many times. Like Salman Khan, Divya was …

If Juhi Chawla had a successful pairing in the early 1990s with anyone more than Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak co-star Aamir Khan, it was her Darr co-stars Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol. In the same year that Yash Chopra’s seminal romantic thriller released, Juhi also acted opposite Sunny in Dharmesh Darshan’s hit action romance Lootere. “I hold it as one of the most underplayed and important films of Juhi Chawla’s career. I had distributed both her launch film, Sultanat (1986), and QSQT (1988). Juhi Chawla had great potential. So, we decided to cast her in Lootere,” recalled producer Suneel Darshan. But he pointed out how Juhi was a little concerned about the overtly westernized image of the leading lady in that film. “There was a beach song in which she had to just wear a shirt and get wet — ‘Main Teri Rani Tu Raja’. So, there were some reservations. Meanwhile, Divya Bharti was emerging. She was very keen. She wanted to be a part of the movie. But I felt she didn’t fit the …
