Nana Patekar recalled how challenging it was to convince co-star Rishi Kapoor to retake scenes while shooting for the 1995 film Hum Dono because he would frequently lose his temper.

He said during the interview, “Gaali bohot deta tha woh (he would abuse a lot).” The actor added, “He would get annoyed a lot. He would give only one take and not more and say, ‘We are extempore, not like you theatre guys, kya bakwaas baat karta hai, chal.”

Nana Patekar also said that when he asked Rishi to give a retake, Rishi said, “Who is the director here? Shafi or you? Hatao yaar isko.”

Nana Patekar recalls ‘bad memories’

He explained, “I don’t like Vidhu Vinod Chopra. I have no control over my anger. I am still the same. That aspect of my life hasn’t changed yet. Every scene has its setting, tune, and note, there is a way to talk. Now, I don’t know if you watched Parinda, I was in the character, so when the director says, ‘Lights, camera, clap’, if you aggressively say ‘action’, it starts to linger in your ears. It echoes and hurts your ears.”

He went on to add that he was supposed to play Jackie Shroff’s role initially. “I was initially going to do Jackie’s role. Naseer (Naseeruddin Shah) was supposed to play Anna (the part eventually played by Nana). Then Naseer backed out. Anil and I did a lot of rehearsals. I prepared for six months. I recently asked Anil, ‘You asked Vinod to drop me from the film?’ He said, ‘I thought Nana ko kyu star banau main (why should I make Nana the star)? It was obvious that you’d become a star had you played Jackie’s part.’ I told him, ‘Didn’t I tell you that whatever role you give me, I’d become the star anyway. Nobody would look at you’.”
