Ramesh Sippy's 1995 directorial, Zamana Deewana, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Raveena Tandon, was a box-office dud. The filmmaker, known for movies like Seeta Aur Geeta (1972) and Sholay (1975), didn't go behind the camera for two decades.

When mid-day caught up with Sippy at the launch of his film school, he said, "I am also waiting [for it to hit screens]. I have finished the film. Now it's up to Viacom (the studio backing the movie) to makerelease plans."

Sources claim that Shimla Mirchi is facing problems due to lack of buyers. Sippy reacted to the claim, saying, "That I cannot answer, because that's not what I have been told. When I have the right answer, I will let you know."
