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.¡±

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¡¯.¡±
