Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein wasn’t a big hit at the box office back when it released but in the years since, it has gained a massive following.
Produced by Vashu Bhagnani and directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the film starred Dia Mirza, R Madhavan and also starred Vrajesh Hirjee in a significant role. In a recent interview, Vrajesh recalled that he was only paid half the amount he was promised for the film. He also compared Vashu to producer Rakesh Roshan who paid him more than the promised amount after Kaho Naa Pyar Hai became a massive hit.
In a conversation with Cyrus Broacha on his YouTube channel, Vrajesh said, “Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein didn’t become the cult that it is today. It was a hurried release clashing with Shah Rukh Khan’s Asoka. I thought it would propel me to something, but nothing happened. I had hopes.” After this, Cyrus immediately asked, “Did you get paid?” And to this, Vrajesh replied, “No. I didn’t get paid half my money on Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein. That’s a sore point.”
Having said that, the actor added that he didn’t lose hope in humanity as he was paid extra for one of his films, after it earned well. “But, I got paid for Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. In fact, after the film was released and it became a hit, I was paid more money than I was supposed to get. So, there are some people who are honest and decent,” he said.
Vashu Bhagnani has been embroiled in controversies and non-payment row since the release of his film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. He is currently dealing with a case involving the film’s director Ali Abbas Zafar. Made with a huge budget of over Rs 350 crore, the movie ended up making less than Rs 60 crore.
