The 1989 crime drama âParinda' starring Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, and Madhuri Dixit Nene is a story of two brothers who get caught on different sides of a gang war when one's psychotic criminal boss murders another's friend. The film was co-written, produced, and directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. In an interview with Lallantop, Nana Patekar, who reportedly had a fallout with Chopra expressed his resentment openly stating, "I don't like Vidhu Vinod Chopra. I have no control over my anger. I am still the same. That aspect of my life hasn't changed yet. Every scene has its setting, tune, and note, there is a way to talk. Now, I don't know if you watched Parinda, but I was in the character, so when the director says, âLights, camera, clap', if you aggressively say âaction', it starts to linger in your ears. It echoes and hurts your ears."
He added, "Let us be in our character, please. What happens, is when someone shouts, we forget the note that is required for the scene and unknowingly pick the director's note. Just say âaction' calmly. Let us get into our character and note. It is because of this we must have had a tiff. I have very bad memories of him (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) and even habits."
As per reports, Chopra had ordered the cast of âParinda' to bring their food on set which irked Patekar. The argument got intense which led to the veteran actor abusing the filmmaker, who then tore Nana's kurta on set.
