So what was it that didn`t make them friends earlier?It was their choice of films. From debuting in big banner films — Tabu in Hum Naujawan and Raveena in Patthar Ke Phool — all they would earlier worry about is who`s bagging what assignment or which producer is on what terms with the other.
Funnily enough, it was their choice of films that brought them together. After having gone through the grind of hardcore commercial cinema, both have turned their attention to off-mainstream cinema. On the sets of Mahesh Manjrekar`s Pran Jaye Par Chawl Na Jaye, visitors were in for a surprise.
