Overview
- Daboo Malik said he never shot for Maine Pyar Kiya and was actually working on a Rajshri film titled Sawan Jhoom Utha that was later cancelled after about a year.
- Amaal Mallik earlier told Filmfare that his father had filmed two schedules as the lead in Maine Pyar Kiya before Salman Khan quietly replaced him.
- Following his father’s clarification, Amaal reiterated his account and said Daboo was staying quiet out of respect for Salman Khan.
- Rajshri Productions has not issued a comment, and no archival proof has been reported that resolves the conflicting accounts.
- Reporters note that both projects were Rajshri productions and shared a similar love story setup, which could explain how family recollections merged over time.
