“He would get angry very quickly,” Patekar remarked. “Once, when I asked for a reshoot, he cursed at me and told the director to get rid of me.”
Despite these on-set tensions, Patekar mentioned that he and Kapoor developed a close friendship off-screen. “We became good friends outside the set,” he added, highlighting that their personal rapport transcended their professional differences.
Rishi Kapoor, known for his charismatic performances in numerous Bollywood classics, passed away in 2020 after battling cancer. His legacy continues through his son, Ranbir Kapoor, who has also established himself as a prominent actor in the Indian film industry.
Patekar’s candid remarks offer a glimpse into the dynamic and sometimes challenging relationships that can occur on film sets, showcasing both the professional intensity and personal bonds that shape Bollywood’s storied history.
