MUMBAI: Actor Rupali Ganguly has revealed that her father, filmmaker Anil Ganguly, had to sell his house after a film that he was doing with actor Dharmendra got delayed. In a new interview, she said that the film took four years to complete and it resulted in a 'massive loss for the family'. Rupali said that it hit her father badly as his 'USP was making films fast'.
Anil Ganguly worked with Dharmendra in the 1991 film Dushman Devta. It also featured Dimple Kapadia, Aditya Pancholi, and Sonam. The film also featured Gulshan Grover, Jankidas, and Shreeram Lagoo. Late musician Bappi Lahiri composed music for the film.
Rupali said, “People used to sell their houses to make movies. When a movie flops, you sell the house, like how it happened with us. Dad had made a film with Dharmendra. When it took three to four years to complete because papa’s USP was making the films fast. Saaheb was made in 40 days. But this Dharmendra film that got delayed for four years, resulted in a massive loss for the family. But it’s okay, whatever goes up has to come down too."
