"The climax monologue was scheduled to be shot the next day. I told him, "I'm not coming tomorrow." You aren't giving me the scene. He knows me so well that he said, "Theek hai." Mat aa' (Don't come). "I woke up the next day and decided not to go. But I was worried about what would happen if I didn't go to the shoot. I also feared that 'Kahin scene alteration kar ke dialogue Akshaye Khanna ko na de de' I got to the sets at 12:30 p.m. He was relaxed because he knew I was coming. We must have finished the scenes in 2-3 hours," Anil Kapoor revealed.
