Boney Kapoor, "I was sure that Roop ki Rani Choron Ka Raja would bomb even while it was being made, I knew we had gone drastically wrong. I actually wanted to shelve it. I told Anil that we were making another Razia Sultan. But nobody was ready to listen to me. They said that Amitabh Bachchan sent a truckload of flowers to Sridevi after seeing the rushes, every word of praise was repeated to me. Eventually, I got carried away. I became indulgent, and expenses mounted because I wanted to have one major highlight in every reel The result was a series of highlights, put together without a soul."
