Maan Singh Deep and his wife Kalyani were initially trade publicist. They later became co producers with Rajeev Kumar and produced Kranti Kshetra. During the making of Tirangaa they met Harish and took him under their wing. Maan Singh became his secretary. Harish then moved in with them. Maan Singh claimed that Harish needed to live with them because it was hard for producers to meet him since his house was in Madras.. So having a place in Bombay would help him get films. Maan Singh claims he got Harish films like Krantiveer. They signed Harish for their home production Gunehgaar, after splitting with Rajeev Kumar. One day Maan Singh Deep had a major falling out with Rajeev Kumar over money matters. Rajeev then proceeded to repeat private information that was said inside the household of Maan Singh Deep. They realized it was Harish who went and told Rajeev all the private information. They went back home and kicked out Harish out of their house. They then signed Atul Agnihothri for the film. Maan Singh claimed he groomed Harish and taught him everything about being actor. Harish claimed that Maan Singh Deep kept taking money from him for everything. He was paying for all his houses expenses. Harish stated that Maan Singh would keep charging his producers extra money. Maan Singh Deep even tried to make Harish sign a contract stating he would 25% of his salary to him and the other 25% to his wife for the rest of his life. If they were to pass away, his salary would go to their children. Maan Singh denied all of this stating he only took his wages as a secretary and was helping Harish become a big star. Harish had enough and walked out.
