Nana said, 'He (Rishi Kapoor) used to abuse a lot. He used to get very irritated too. He would not give more than one take for any scene and would say- We are not theatre people like you. On the talk of giving one more take, he would say- 'What nonsense are you talking about!'
Rishi Kapoor used to get irritated on giving more than one take
Narrating an incident, Nana said, 'Once I was not happy with a scene, so I asked him to give me a second take. He asked me, who is the director? You or Shafi? Then he said, remove it. After this, he somehow gave the second take which was very bad. I told him, 'Chintu this is rubbish', after this he started abusing me badly. By the fifth take, he was ready to hit me but that take was the best. I told him, Chintu, this is the final take for the film, then he said to me in irritation, yes it's okay friend.'
