An artist becomes a superstar only after experiencing both failure and success. Even global icon Priyanka Chopra and superstar Sunny Deol have been through this journey. In 2007, they released a film together, which was originally supposed to be Priyanka Chopra’s debut in 2002 but was delayed by almost five years. Initially, the movie was offered to Ameesha Patel, but Chopra eventually replaced her. The film in question is Big Brother.
It is based on the Bengali film Guru, which was a remake of the Tamil film Baashha (1995) and was inspired by the Bollywood film Hum (1991). The film was originally scheduled for release in 2002 but was delayed by almost five years. Its title was changed thrice before its final release.
When the film was first launched in 2001, the original cast included Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Sudhanshu Pandey, and it was set to be produced by Vijayta Films under the title ‘Deva’. However, the project was shelved for unknown reasons. It was later revived and renamed ‘Gandhi’, with Priyanka Chopra replacing Ameesha Patel and Imran Khan replacing Sudhanshu Pandey. This time, the film was produced by Guddu Dhanoa, while Vijayta Films was only presenting it. The title was once again changed to ‘Devadhar Gandhi’, but fearing that it might not resonate with the audience, the makers finally settled on ‘Big Brother’.
Made on a budget of Rs 8 crore, the film only earned Rs 7 crore. The film also stars Danny Denzongpa, Farida Jalal and Suhasini Mulay.
