| Nana Patekar spoke openly about his work with Rishi Kapoor |
Hum Dono, released in 1995, stars Rishi Kapoor and Nana Patekar together. Even though they had disagreements on set, Rishi's cancer treatment allowed them to contact frequently, according to Nana.
Two infamously irritable performers collaborated on the Hum Dono film set in 1995. Because co-star Rishi Kapoor would frequently lose his temper while production, actor Nana Patekar recalls how tough it was to convince him to perform several takes for the action movie. Actor Shafi Inamdar directed the movie, which starred Nana Patekar and Rishi Kapoor.
Because of insecurity, according to Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor had him fired from Parinda: "Main Nana ko kyun star banau?" he asked.
In an interview with The Lallantop, Nana Patekar spilled the beans on the bond they shared during the filming. “Gaali bohot deta tha woh (he would abuse a lot),” Nana recalled. When asked if Rishi would abuse more than him, Nana exclaimed, “Arey!”. The actor continued, “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 recalled how Rishi would lose his temper every time he was asked to give another take. By the fifth take, Rishi Kapoor got the shot right– but he was highly annoyed.
“I once asked him to give another shot as the first one was terrible. He said, ‘Who is the director here? Shafi or you? Hatao yaar isko.‘ He gave the second take, which was also bad. I told him, ‘Chintu ye bakwaas hai’, he then started abusing. Itni gandi gaaliyan! By the fifth take he was like, ‘Now I will hit you!’ but that was the best take! That was the take that made it to the film. When I came for dubbing, I told him see it was retained, and he said (annoyed), ‘Ha theek hai yaar.’ We spoke a lot after he went for his treatment,” the actor recalled.
