Darwaza

The brothers struggled at first to find buyers for Darwaza. However, a smart trick worked as Arjun Ramsay happily explains to Dasgupta: "This was about a monster, and we had spent a lot of money to make the monster; we got the right clothes, the mask had come from Mr Tucker.... We spent a lakh on the look of the monster; we were ready. So the distributor came and sat down in a room. Tulsi- ji and Kumar- ji were talking with the distributor, and I was in the adjacent room, making strange and scary noises. I had been dressed up in the monster's costume, and I had these chains I was using to make a noise. Then, while they were talking, I suddenly burst into the room wearing the costume and the mask, with the chains tied to me, and attacked the distributor. We had decided on the script. Tulsi- ji and Kumar- ji would run away, and I would attack the man. He nearly died.... I jumped on him, and he started shouting.... The distributor came around. Darwaza was released, and it made enough money to keep everyone involved happy."
