One of the country's finest filmmakers mid-way through his last film, decided to sack the debutante leading lady who, to put bluntly, just didn't get it. Shot after shot was goofed up until finally the brilliant director who has created some of the biggest contemporary classics, lost his cool.
He decided to sack this star-daughter. The star-daughter's parents rushed to the shooting spot and some of us from the director's close circle of friends also persuaded him not to do this to the girl's career.
Today, the filmmaker, arguably the best since Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor, regrets not doing the right thing by his film. "I should've listened to the voice within me which said I was wrong. My film would've been saved."
