In an interview with Hindi Rush, Madhoo revealed, “With Nana Patekar, I became a method actor. There was a scene where I was supposed to use glycerin. He didn’t let me use it. He was like, ‘Feel it, you should have natural tears.’ But I couldn’t do it. What he did then was slap me for real. He slapped me so hard that I naturally had tears in my eyes.”
