Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is turning out to be a success at the box-office. Directed by Milap Zaveri, the film stars Sonam Bajwa and Harshvardhan Rane. It released on October 21 and clashed at the ticket windows with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Thamma. It has collected Rs 32 crore so far and the collections are likely to grow over the week due to no competition.
While talking to Bollywood Hungama, the director spoke about it and said, “This proves the power of content and music. It shows the power of Harshvardhan Rane. Everyone underestimated him. He has always been loved, not just for Sanam Teri Kasam, but also for Taish, Haseen Dillruba, Tara vs Bilal, Dange etc.”
Zaveri added, “ Sonam Bajwa also has such a big fan following, in India and overseas. I must also mention our producers Anshul Garg and Raghav Sharma. I call Anshul as ‘Sher Garg’. He had the courage to make the film. He came on board 7-8 days before the film went on floors. We didn’t have a financier or studio. We were running out of time. I had to leave for the shoot of Mastiii 4. Harshvardhan had to start his next film. We were struggling for funds. This is when Anshul and Raghav came on board.”
On the collections of the film
If we had the single screens from day 1, it’s unimaginable what the numbers could have been. I am sure that eventually, we’ll catch up. Sunday could be our biggest day.
On signing Harshvardhan Rane
Sanam Teri Kasam re-relased on February 7. On February 9, I messaged him, asking if I could narrate the script of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. To his credit, he immediately let me. He told me, ‘Sir, I have a lot of belief in your commercial sensibilities. I always wanted to work with you’. As soon as he heard the script, he was on board.
