豆知識

Deewana is a 1992 Indian Hindi-language romantic action film directed by Raj Kanwar and written by Sagar Sarhadi. It stars Rishi Kapoor, Divya Bharti, and Shah Rukh Khan in his feature film debut. The film revolves around an effervescent girl Kajal (Bharti), depicting her travails as a widow after the disappearance of her husband Ravi (Kapoor) and how her obsessive lover Raja (Khan) wins her over.

Production

In the early 1990s, Ranbir Pushp conceived the story of Deewana, and Guddu Dhanoa decided to bankroll the film under his own production banner, Mayank Arts. In an interview to Rediff.com, Raj Kanwar, who had previously worked as an assistant director to Shekhar Kapur in films such as Mr. India (1987) and Ghayal (1990), revealed that he was approached by Dhanoa to direct Deewana, making it his directorial debut.

Rishi Kapoor was Raj Kanwar's first choice. He was given a remuneration of ₹1 million (US$10,000). For the female lead, Madhuri Dixit was Kanwar's initial choice. Her unavailability and lack of dates led to the casting of Divya Bharti, on the recommendation of Guddu Dhanoa's friend and the former's manager, Jatin Rajguru.

Kanwar had several actors in mind for the role of Raja. Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Govinda and Nagarjuna were considered before Armaan Kohli was signed. Kohli had shot for a few days but was removed due to a misunderstanding between him and Shabnam Kapoor, the wife of Lalit Kapoor, one of the producers of the film on the sets of Insaaf Ki Devi (1992). Shah Rukh Khan, then a budding artist, was selected as his replacement.

Principal photography took place in and around Mumbai and Ooty. The songs were shot across various locations in Ooty, such as the Botanical Gardens and Ooty Lake.
