Ram Lakhan Movie: Exactly 35 years ago in the year 1989, the biggest hit film of that year ‘Ram Lakhan’ was released. The songs, storyline and star cast of the film were so amazing that after Raj Kapoor, this film of Subhash Ghai, the second showman of Bollywood after Raj Kapoor, did not take time to be included in the cult films. Subhash Ghai has told some interesting things related to this film.
Subhash Ghai had told how the film was made and most of the things in the film were not decided in advance. Rather, they were improvised on the set itself. After the special things that Subhash told about the script of the film, anyone will be forced to think that how such a big film was made in such a short time?
The script was written in just 15 days
According to Times of India, Subhash Ghai told that the script of the film was written in just 15 days. He told that at that time he had to start his film with actors who could join the film immediately and not with any big star. He also told that the music and script were improvised on the set itself. Recalling that time, Subhash Ghai said that this film, which was a big hit of that time, was made with a lot of hard work and dedication. He said that we still smile after seeing this rollercoaster.
How did you improvise the steps of the song ‘My Name is Lakhan’?
Subhash Ghai had told during an interview that Saroj Khan was the choreographer of the film. The special step that Anil Kapoor is seen doing in the song ‘One Two Ka Four-Four Two Ka One’ in the film My Name Is Lakhan was not decided in advance. I just talked to Saroj Khan and she asked me to do that famous step while the song was being shot.
