Let us tell you that Adi Irani, while talking to one of the media houses said, ‘I was wearing glasses in a scene, in which both Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar had to hit me.

The actor further said, ‘Even Nana Patekar once really slapped me. During the take, my glasses flipped and I hurt my eye. I was in a bad condition. After the director said cut, Nana immediately apologized. But Anil Kapoor left from there. I told him, ‘Anil ji, what is this? You slapped me very hard. This should not happen.’ Anil replied, ‘It happened by mistake.’ I asked him, ‘How can this happen by mistake three times?’

When asked if Anil Kapoor would dare to do this to superstars like Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan, Adi said, ‘He did it intentionally.’ He said, ‘He does this to everyone. I think he believes that the more real he performs, the more real the reaction will be. But he will not stab someone with a knife, right? He will not stab Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan. I will not do this with him. I have also heard that he had similar problems with Amjad Khan.’
