Shakti Kapoor said, “During my struggling days, I was driving my 1961 model Fiat on Bandra’s Linking Road when a Mercedes in an attempt to overtake my car slightly damaged it. I was furious and got off the car to yell at the driver, but instead I was left speechless as it was Feroz Khan. All my anger vanished and instead I started requesting him for a break. I am thankful for Feroz sir’s faith in me. My performance in the movie is considered as one of my finest till date.”
