Nana Patekar replies, mentioning the director of the film Anees Bazmee, “I was ready to go after Anees! I was thinking, ‘What nonsense is this? Just because we’ve signed the film, does that mean you can make us do anything you want?’ But then Anees showed me how to do it ‘Aloo lelo…kaanda lelo…’ He said, ‘Sir, just do it, it’ll look good on you.’ I told him, ‘It feels weird, you show me first!’ He did it, and I just followed along. And guess what? It worked! So, all the credit for that iconic moment goes to Anees.
