Aslam Pathan attempts to get back at the father of the groom, by sending Gogia Advani to Shiv Charan Sharma with a drug proposition as he thinks that Shiv's acceptance of Gogia's offer would create dissent amongst the crime circles.

==Production==
Aatank Hi Aatank was produced by Dilip Shankar's wife, Mangal Shankar, and was initially named ''Aatank''. Shah Rukh Khan was the original choice for the role of Rohan Singh Thakur, who didn't sign it is owing to his busy schedule. Dilip and Mangal the approached Aamir Khan, who agreed to do the film.

This is the only film to feature Aamir and Rajinikanth together.

A lot of scenes were removed from the film during post-production. An outrageous love-making scene was shot between Aamir and Pooja Bedi, which both the actors completed despite not being comfortable. Shankar removed the particular scene after several crew members and colleagues suggested him not to keep it. Shankar shot another scene showing a conflict between Aamir and Om Puri, which Aamir believed didn't make sense in the story, but completed on Shankar's persuasion. This scene, too, was removed during the editing phase after Shankar realized that Aamir was right.

Shankar escaped a fatal accident during the shoot. While shooting on the banks of river Chenab, he nearly fell into an uncovered deep well while focusing on a shot without watching his step. Shankar was saved by the stunt director.
