She revealed that they had only agreed to do the film for the director. Sharmila added that Amitabh and Jaya had very little to do, yet they joined for the director’s sake. She stated:
“Hrishida knew exactly what he wanted us actors to do. We just did what he told us. I think all of us – Dharamji, Amitji, Jaya, Om Prakash ji, Asraniji, and Usha Kironji – were there for fun. In fact, Amit and Jaya had very little to do. But they joined in the fun for Hrishida’s sake.”
