Saino

Danny Denzongpa stated "I also did a Nepali film titled Saino for which I won the National Award. It was then remade in Bengali as "Bandhu". It was also dubbed into Hindi too. We then decided to remake it in Hindi as Ajnabi. But since it did not have any takers, it was converted into a serial and remained in the top ten charts for five long years. It was very sad. The film Ajnabi did not get any buyers. So Romesh Sharma decided to make it into a serial. Initially, I was very hesitant but I agreed later because Romesh reasoned that the project would serve its purpose only if it reached the audience. Ajnabi was one of the serials to be launched with the Metro channel and within a couple of weeks it became very popular. So much so that even when it was shuffled from one channel to the other it remained on the top. I have to confess that the kind of popularity Ajnabi gave me, none of my films have given me. Wherever I went people adressed me as Major Pratap Rai. It was great."
