This 1992 blockbuster film featured 3 heroes, 3 heroines, 9 villains, one of the most expensive Indian films, one song became huge chartbuster; The movie is…, actors are…
Even at 67, Sunny Deol's charisma remains unmatched. With his iconic 'dhai kilo ka haath' dialogue, he continues to take down villains like a true action hero. Back in 1992, he starred in the blockbuster film Vishwatma , where he single-handedly battled nine villains. The film featured an ensemble cast including Naseeruddin Shah, Chunky Panday, and Divya Bharti, with three heroes, three heroines, and nine antagonists, making it one of the most action-packed films of its time. At that time, Vishwatma created a stir at the box office. The movie received critical acclaim upon release from contemporary as well as modern critics, with praise drawn towards its screenplay and action sequences. It earned around Rs 9.5 crore worldwide and became the sixth highest-grossing Indian film of 1992. One of the songs from the film, 'Saat Samundar', became a huge chartbuster. It was the most expensive Indian film at the time of its production, being extensively shot in Kenya and the first Indian film to be shot there. ' Saat Samundar' song, which created a huge rage, was shot at Bubbles Discothèque, a popular nightclub in Nairobi in those days. This film was directed by Rajiv Rai, who had also directed Tridev in 1989. Rai decided to change the setting and planned to shoot much of the movie in Kenya. He initially wanted to cast the same three male leads from Tridev – Sunny Deol, Naseeruddin Shah, and Jackie Shroff. However, Jackie had just become a father, and his astrologer advised him not to travel abroad for a year. As a result, Rai, after considering launching his close friend Suniel Shetty, ultimately chose to cast Chunky Panday instead of Shroff as one of the leads.

This Bollywood Star Changed Her Religion At 18, Died 11 Months After Secret Marriage
Divya Bharti was one of Bollywood's brightest stars in the early 1990s. Beginning her modelling career at just 14, her charm and confidence swiftly won her fame and numerous film offers. She made her cinematic debut in the Tamil film Nila Penne in 1990, followed by the Telugu film Bobbili Raja. In 1992, Divya Bharti entered Bollywood with Vishwatma (1992) and rapidly became a household name, delivering a string of successful films. Remarkably, she starred in 12 films in 1992 alone, a record still unbroken. Tragically, Divya Bharti's life was cut short just a year later. On April 5, 1993, at the age of 19, she fell to her death from the balcony of her Mumbai apartment. The circumstances of her death remain unclear. Some reports cited excessive alcohol consumption, while others speculated foul play or underworld connections.
