She revealed that Rahul Rawail once made her cry as he refused to pay her the full signing amount for the movie. Meenakshi added that Rahul settled on an amount he deemed fair claiming that working with him was fee enough. \u201cRahul Rawail ji came to meet me. I thought that I would work with the director who has made films like <em>Betaab, Arjun<\/em> and <em>Love Story<\/em>. He told me clearly that Sunny will have the main role in <em>Dacait <\/em>and his family will have more importance in the film but the 5-6 scenes and 2-3 songs that you will feature in will be very good and they will have strong content and I believe in presenting my heroines very beautifully. I told him that he needn&#8217;t convince me, &#8221; the actress told<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pyZcsIXfdHk?si=O1lgjNexOaXhVlMJ\"> Friday Talkies<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Meenakshi Seshadri added, \u201cHe made me cry though during the signing. He clearly refused to give me my price. He said, \u2018I won&#8217;t give you the price. You are working with me that is your price. Whatever I will give, take it happily.&#8217; I was such a fan of his that I smiled while crying and agreed to it. I was young and wanted to earn well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Directed by Rahul Rawail, <em>Dacait <\/em>featured Sunny Deol, Meenakshi Seshadri, Raakhee, Raza Murad, Suresh Oberoi, Paresh Rawal, and Urmila Matondkar in key roles.
