As the 22nd anniversary of his film Kaante approached, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta disclosed that star Amitabh Bachchan had informed him that he would not abuse in the film. In a new interview, Sanjay also stated that when there was a problem while filming in Los Angeles, Amitabh was the first to inform him that he didn’t ‘want any money,’ but that the movie should be made. Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Lucky Ali, and Mahesh Manjrekar, according to the director, also refused to charge for the picture.

Sanjay directed the action thriller Kaante, which was released in 2002. The film also stars Namrata Singh Gujral, Rati Agnihotri, Rohit Roy, Isha Koppikar, and Malaika Arora in addition to Amitabh, Sanjay, Kumar Gaurav, Suniel Shetty, Lucky Ali, and Mahesh Manjrekar.

Amitabh Bachchan's love and pride for his son Abhishek Bachchan is known...

In an interview, Sanjay said, “Once, Mr Bachchan took me aside and said, ‘Sanjay I won’t abuse, that’s one thing I’ve never done, so I won’t do it. If someone else is abusing, then I’ve no problem’. I was fine with it and thought it was extremely gracious of him. Phir bhi unke muh se nikal he gaya dialogue (Yet he said the dialogue), ‘Agar mujhe pata hota tum sab itne bade c* ho toh main kabhi ha bolta he nahi’ (laughs). But he was very, very nice and supportive.”

Sanjay also said, “A very lesser-known fact is that all five of them, barring Kumar Gaurav, let go of their remuneration. On the fourth day of our shoot in Los Angeles, we had to shut down because the union guys came—and we were trying to go the non-union way. Suddenly the budgets escalated, and we didn’t know what to do. It was Mr Bachchan who came forward and said, ‘I don’t want any money, but let’s make the film happen.’ Then Sanjay and Suniel said no, and theirs was the big amount. Mahesh and Lucky’s amount was lesser.”
