It so happened that in 1988, Bollywood's well-known writer Salim Khan wrote a film called ‘Falak’, which was directed by Shashilal K Nair. Jackie Shroff and Shekhar Kapoor played the role of brothers in this movie where the latter played the character of a cop. The story of the film was about two brothers who take revenge for their father's death. Salim Khan had held a special screening of the film in Mumbai and many people from the industry watched the movie. While many appreciated the movie for its power-packed dialogues, some found its pace too slow. Subhash Ghai was also a part of the screening and was then riding high in the success of his films like ‘Karz’, ‘Vidhaata’, ‘Hero’ and ‘Karma’.

Ghai was bowled over by the concept of the film and decided to meet Salim Khan to inform him that he will be making a commercial version of ‘Falak’ based on the latter’s script. He felt that the screenplay was too dull. Salim Khan did not object to this and exactly a year later Subhash Ghai presented ‘Ram Lakhan’ which was the story of two brothers. In the film, the elder brother is a policeman and both the brothers take revenge for the death of their father. ‘Ram Lakhan’ was released in 1989 and the rest is history.

Well, it is rightly said that a single story can have different interpretations. The approach varies from person to person.
