Sanam Teri Kasam makers were asked if they made a Sanjay Leela Bhansali-level masterpiece during initial release | Big revelation

Sanam Teri Kasam makers Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao were discriminated against when they tried to release their movie originally. The Harshvardhan Rane-Mawra Hocane starrer was ignored by all back when it was released in 2016. Now, they have received an apology and recovered all losses with the movie's theatrical re-release. The film reached a wider audience over the years but was initially rejected even by its own studios, who asked if the movie was Sanjay Leela Bhansali-level masterpiece.

Back when Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao tried to release Sanam Teri Kasam, production studios backed out asking if the film was Bhansali-backed. They recalled to KoiMoi about being taunted when trying their best to promote the film. "Jab Hum Picture Leke Jaa Rahe They, Toh Woh Bol Rahe The Ki Aap Kyu Hamare Paas Baar Baar Aa Rahe Ho Yeh Kehte Hue Ki Kisi Ko Aata Nahi Hai, Better Promote Karo! Aapne Koi Masterpiece Banayi Hai? Aap Koi Bhansali Ho?," the director-duo recalled.
