Director Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) has made a shocking revelation about the famous film ‘Chori Chori Chupke Chupke’.

Although Bharat Shah, the film’s main financier, was initially unaware of this, the entire production and funding of the film involved underworld money and interference.

Work on the film began when a man approached Bharat Shah and said he had dates for a Salman Khan film. Bharat Shah himself called Salman Khan to confirm this. When Salman said that he had given his dates to this man, Bharat Shah decided to invest in the film. Bharat Shah was a big diamond merchant at that time and he believed in this project only at the behest of Salman Khan.
