Director Rajiv Rai shot the film on such a big scale that it became a trendsetter. Back then it was very exciting to shoot at such exotic places, and for this film, we were stationed there for over two months. In fact, we were the first ones to shoot in the Masai Mara National Reserve. If I am not mistaken, it was the first Bollywood film to be shot in Africa on such a huge scale. How does it feel when you look back at 'Vishwatma' that released 29 years ago? In an exclusive chat with ETimes, Chunky revisited the shoot of the film. With Sunny Deol, Chunky Panday, Amrish Puri, Jyotsana Singh, Gulshan Grover also part of the cast, the multi-starrer was a hit upon release. Be it Divya Bharti declaring how she had followed her love across the seven seas in 'Saat Samundar Paar' or a turban-clad Naseeruddin Shah professing his undying love for the country in 'Dil Le Gayi Teri Bindiya', Rajiv Rai's ' Vishwatma' that released 29 years ago today, evokes memories of an era when tell-tale songs, good vs evil, and patriotism ruled the roost in Hindi cinema.
