Sharat however said that he did not surprisingly get any roles after the film. He said the film shut down as Gulshan Kumar was assassinated and there was a big worry in the film industry. He said, “No one was announcing films, no one was releasing films,” he recalled and said that it affected his career badly. “I did not get the work I could have gotten in that period, this was a tragedy in my life.”

The Vikram Bhatt directorial also starred Rani Mukerji and Deepak Tijori. 

Sharat has been part of films like Shakti, Karma, Mr India, Soldier, Saathiya, Baghban, Bajrangi Bhaijaan among many others.
