says, “Om Puri ji sang a song in this film for the very first time in his film career. When my music director Vipin Patwa and I first asked him to sing, he was surprised and said he could not sing. But we insisted and he rehearsed for two days. On the day of the recording, he got so nervous that he walked out of the studio. We were so disappointed. But then after two days, Om ji called back and told us that he was ready to sing and told us to book the studio. He came and recorded the song flawlessly. We came to know later that for two days, he cancelled everything and just rehearsed the song at home.”
