I was getting very angry as to why he was saying this to us. So I told Jeetu (Jeetendra) that we should tell him.
In response to this, Jeetendra said, keep quiet. let’s go out. We do not know him, but he knows us. That’s why we are a soft target. Rakesh Roshan has told that he left from there after Jeetendra convinced him.

Then I became a producer, but I was not successful in that also. The film Kaamchor was very successful, but I was not successful in that also. There also Jaya Prada went ahead, I remained there. Then I thought that I would become a director. When I was a producer, we used to discuss the screenplay. At that time my imagination was different.
