Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra recently opened up about the difficult time he faced on the sets of Parinda. The director revealed the time when he tore Nana Patekar’s shirt during the shoot of the film.

Narrating the incident he said, “There’s a scene in the film where Nana asks if he has tears in his eyes after his wife has died. We’d been shooting all day, and it was late in the evening. Nana declared that he was too tired to continue and that he was going home. I told him, ‘Sure, you pay for the overheads then’. He started swearing at me, I swore back, and in the scuffle, I tore his kurta. The cops on set said, ‘We’re here to protect you, and you’re fighting among yourselves’.”

Nana Patekar’s performance in Parinda is regarded as one of the finest performances in his career. The actor shared screen space with Madhuri Dixit Nene, Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff in it.
