The film revolved around a husband and wife and had an interesting theme with the husband having a clandestine affair with his secretary. Taken up by the subject, she narrated it to me on the condition that her name would appear in the credits as the storywriter if we were to make the film. After hearing the story, I was also fascinated by it. But I wanted to give the otherwise serious subject a humorous turn. Since I was known to be a serious filmmaker, what with films like Waqt, Gumraah and Hamraaz behind me, my wife felt that I wouldnt be able to handle comedy well. But I have always believed in experimenting with something novel. So I took up this challenge and along with Kamleshwar, who had a knack for writing light-hearted subjects, worked on the screenplay and dialogues. <br><br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><a href= https://www.screenindia.com/ target=_blank>Screen India</a></span><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
