Singer Shailendra Singh played a ghar jamai

R Balki's Ki & Ka is proud of its revolutionary idea of a wife who decides to earn a living while the husband stays home and does all the cooking and cleaning. But the idea was used 36 years ago in a film called Agreement directed by Anil Ganguly of Kora Kagaz fame.

The film, which boasted of hit music by Bappi Lahiri, featured Rekha as an entrepreneur tycoon who gets herself a house-husband.

The film was remarkable for singer Shailendra Singh's acting efforts. Singh, known to sing for Rishi Kapoor in Bobby and other films, played the house husband. The film was not a success. When quizzed about it Balki and Arjun Kapoor said they had never heard of the film.

We believe them. They were not even born back then.
