He told Satoo to launch a film starring Sunny Deol,Meenakshi Sheshadri and he would direct it. Once he could sell the film to distributors, he could take the money and complete Aag Aur Suhaag.

He realized Satoo was B grade producer with very low intelligence and would end up producing a horrible film.
