**Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat: The Real Reason Abhishek Bachchan is Thanked in the Film**
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which is rapidly approaching the Rs. 80 crore mark at the box office, has captured audiences with its mass appeal, chartbuster songs, and powerful performances. Viewers who flocked to see this Diwali release were pleasantly surprised to see Abhishek Bachchan being acknowledged in the opening disclaimer. Many assumed that the talented actor would make a cameo appearance, but that was not the case.
**Why Was Abhishek Bachchan Thanked?**
Bollywood Hungama has uncovered the real reason behind Abhishek’s mention under ‘Special Thanks’. According to a source, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’s story was written many years ago. At one point, it was to be directed by the late Nishikant Kamat, known for Drishyam (2015) and Force (2011). Abhishek Bachchan was originally slated to play the lead role. Milap Zaveri and Mushtaq Sheikh had written the story and screenplay, with Milap handling the dialogues.”
The source continued, “However, due to certain reasons, the film never got made. After so many years, Milap Zaveri decided to revive the project and, this time, also took over as director. Before proceeding, he asked Abhishek Bachchan for his approval. Abhishek was more than happy with Milap’s decision and graciously allowed him to go ahead with Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, wishing him luck. This is the reason why Abhishek was thanked in the film.”
**About the Film**
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. The story revolves around a politician who falls in love with a film heroine. Complications arise when she does not reciprocate his love, and he refuses to accept her rejection.
With this release, Milap Zaveri has successfully made his comeback, and it has affirmed that the re-release success of Harshvardhan’s 2016 film Sanam Teri Kasam was not a fluke.
**Viral Moment**
Recently, a scene featuring Harshvardhan Rane went viral due to a “dressing-over-shirt” goof-up, which even drew comments from doctors on social media.
