• A Subba Rao told Santoshi he would produce the film but Sunny Deol would need to decrease his price. Sunny was going through a lean phase as Ram Avtaar and Dacait had just flopped. A Subba Rao told Santoshi that if the film ran for more than 100 days, he would play Sunny Deol an extra lakh. Santoshi told Sunny about the situation and Sunny Deol agreed. Sunny did not want anyone to know he had decreased his price due to his recent flops. But Santoshi got word that A Subba Rao was in a financial mess himself. Jeete Hain Shaan Se was stuck and his funds were very little. Raj Kumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol traveled to meet Dharmendra at the Batwara outdoor. Santoshi narrated the script to Dharmendra and Sunny Deol. Dharmendra was amazed how good Santoshi was. This is when Dharmendra asked Santoshi that if he wasn't an assistant to a big director like Ramesh Sippy or Yash Chopra, how come he knew his job so well? This is when Santoshi revealed he was the son of P.L.Santoshi. Dharmendra jumped up and hugged Raj Kumar Santoshi. Dharmendra had worked with his dad during his early years in the industry. Dharmendra told Santoshi that not only would he produce the film, he would give his name to the film. This is something he had not even done for Betaab.
