Armaan Kohli, son of veteran filmmaker Rajkumar Kohli, made his acting debut in the early 1990s, but could never prove his worth as a leading star. He faced a string of flops throughout the decade, including three films helmed by his father — Virodhi (1992), Aulad Ke Dushman (1993), and Qahar (1997). In order to break out of this spell of box office failures, Rajkumar decided to relaunch Armaan in a film with which he went back to what got him success in the first place — multi-starrers and the supernatural. Rajkumar Kohli got his directorial breakthrough two-and-a-half decades before that with his 1976 horror film Naagin. Emerging as the highest grossing Hindi film of that year, it boasted of an ensemble A-list cast, including Reena Roy, Sunil Dutt, Feroz Khan, Jeetendra, Sanjay Khan, Rekha, Mumtaz, Kabir Bedi, Vinod Mehra, Anil Dhawan, Yogeeta Bali, and Aruna Irani, among others. He followed that up with another multi-starrer blockbuster supernatural film, Jaani Dushman, in 1979. That film also boasted of a galaxy of film stars — Sunil …
