 In 1990, Rakesh Roshan (qv) was contemplating signing  Kimi Katkar (qv) opposite Amitabh Bachchan (qv) for his new  project. Later, he dropped the idea of signing Katkar and penciled  Sangeeta Bijlani (qv) and Ashwini Bhave (qv) for the role. The  film with Bachchan never got made, but Roshan Sr. did go ahead with  the project and signed Jackie Shroff instead. It was later titled  KING UNCLE.
