**Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Nears Rs. 80 Crore Mark; Abhishek Bachchan’s Special Thanks Explained**
*Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat*, which is successfully marching towards the Rs. 80 crore mark, has been widely appreciated for its massy treatment, chartbuster songs, and compelling performances. Audiences who flocked to watch the Diwali release were pleasantly surprised to see Abhishek Bachchan being thanked in the opening disclaimer. Many initially assumed that the dashing and talented actor had a cameo in the film, but that was not the case.
Bollywood Hungama has now uncovered the real reason behind Abhishek Bachchan’s mention under ‘Special Thanks’.
### Exclusive: Why Abhishek Bachchan Was Thanked in *Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat*
A reliable source revealed, “*Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat*’s story was written many years ago. At one point, it was set to be directed by the late Nishikant Kamat, known for *Drishyam* (2015) and *Force* (2011). Abhishek Bachchan was to play the lead role. Milap Zaveri and Mushtaq Sheikh had written the story and screenplay, while Milap had penned the dialogues.”
The source continued, “However, due to certain reasons, the film never materialized back then. After many years, Milap Zaveri decided to revive the project, this time taking over as the director himself. He sought Abhishek Bachchan’s approval to move forward with the film. Abhishek was more than happy with Milap’s decision. He graciously allowed the team to proceed with *Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat* and wished them luck. This is the reason Abhishek was given a special thanks.”
### About the Film
*Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat* stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. The story revolves around a politician who falls in love with a film heroine. Trouble ensues when she does not reciprocate his feelings, and he refuses to accept her rejection.
The film marks a successful comeback for director Milap Zaveri and further solidifies that the re-release super-success of Harshvardhan Rane’s 2016 film *Sanam Teri Kasam* was no fluke.
