Nana further said, “The producers also said, let me get well first, but I told them that I will not shoot. Three-four doctors went with me there. Now when I reached there, I wore the dress and said give me a scene, then he said let's write. I said write? What does it mean? So the director explained that the scene would be like this, just write the dialogues and give them.
Nana Patekar further said, “After that I said, okay, take lunch break now, we will start shooting at 2.30. During the lunch break, I thought about what to say and do. After this, shooting started at 2.30 pm and ended by 5 pm. I kept speaking and when I thought what to say next, I took a cloth from the hand of the executioner and covered my mouth.” This scene of Nana Patekar is considered iconic even today, in which Nana showed his creativity.
