<p>Sharing a picture of a cassette tape, Ajay Devgn said, "Reflecting on 23 years of #RajuChacha, a film that holds my heart for many reasons, Anil&rsquo;s directorial debut paved the way for me to embody <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/romance-and-duty-dominate-ajay-devgn-year-23261736" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Raju</strong></a>, a man deeply rooted in emotion, despite walking on the wrong side of the law. This movie gave me the opportunity to work with kids for the first time, who made things so much more fun on set, and to share the screen with Rishi Ji for the very first time, a memory I&rsquo;ll always hold close to my heart. And amidst it all, @kajol stood as my steadfast partner, on and off screen, offering unwavering support. As I look back, I can only feel gratitude for having been a part of this film!</p>

The first being the fact that it was my one and only film with #RishiKapoor, somebody whom I have always been in awe of as an actor. He was the most amazing actor on screen, and it was my honour to work with him in that film."</p>
<p>She also recalled the moment when the entire Devgan family settled in Ooty for 90 days during the film's shoot. "Secondly, because we put up this fairyland set on the top of a mountain in Ooty and lived there for nearly ninety days!!! Now that's truly something that is unforgettable. The whole Devgan family settled house there for three months! Mother, father et all!" she added.</p>
