Allah-Rakha

Allah Rakha ended up being the main reason Manmohan Desai and Subhash Ghai's friendship got destroyed. Jackie Shroff was the poor scapegoat in the middle. Manmohan Desai was to distribute the film in Delhi and backed out at the last minute. Ghai felt that Manmohan Desai had taken the film to sabotage it. If he was the distributor he could release the film in limited theaters with minimal publicity. In those days Karma and Allah Rakha was being made at the same time and were going to release together. Many stories were in the press that Ghai would hold Jackie Shroff on the Karma sets so he could delay the making of Allah Rakha . Many stories of Manmohan Desai ill treating Jackie due to Jackie being Subhash Ghai's protegee were also in the media. Manmohan Desai accused Jackie Shroff of telling Ghai about some scenes from Allah Rakha. Subhash Ghai would then use those same scenes for Karma. For the longest time Allah Rakha and Karma were going to release on the same day. Manmohan Desai and Subhash Ghai finally sat down and discussed the release date mess they were in. Subhash Ghai denied all allegations against him saying he respected Desai as a senior and had no issues with him.
