In a recent interview with Filmfare, the actor recalled the time and said, “When I went for my first muhurat shot, I went on a motorcycle. The film was Aetbaar. Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan were clapping the board for me. Hrithik and I were classmates, he is a sweetheart. I was not allowed in, because I was on a motorcycle. The gates were shut and they asked me, ‘Kaun ho?’ (Who are you?) I said, ‘The muhurut is for my film’ and they finally allowed me. As soon as they opened the gates, Amitabh Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan were gesturing at me and saying, ‘Come in’.”
Ratan Tata co-produced the Bollywood movie with Jatin Kumar. The romantic psychological thriller, directed by Vikram Bhatt, was produced by Tata Infomedia Ltd.
The movie plot was based on a Hollywood movie titled Fear, released in 1996, and portrayed the lead character, played by John Abraham, as an obsessed and unpredictable man. However, the movie failed miserably at the box office and didn’t even manage to gain applause from the critics.
