Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor had a bit of tumultous relationship at the begining of their career when Kapoor decided to replace Patekar in the 1989 film Parinda, directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Following that Nana revealed that he had vowed to never work with Anil, however the reunited for Welcome.

The two actors reunited once again for the promotions of Nana’s upcoming film, Vanvaas, directed by Anil Sharma. During the episode of Legends Unplugged, Nana Patekar confronted Anil Kapoor and said, “You bullied me so much during Parinda. Let me tell you, I was going to play the brother’s role in the film. We’d even done rehearsals. Jackie was hired later, because of Anil.”

Anil defended himself and said, ‘You’ll be surprised, I was the casting director on the film Hum Paanch… I have done a bunch of odd jobs. I was in production, I was in casting, I would escort stars to set… I would tail Naseeruddin Shah. I’ve done it all. I had a huge role to play in the casting for Hum Paanch. I might be wrong, but I felt that for my brother’s role in Parinda, Jackie would be the best choice. I’m being very honest with you.”

Nana quickly retorted and said, “Because of your honesty, I lost the role. You realise I didn’t work with you for 19 years after that? I thought, ‘Yeh toh bada bakwaas aadmi hai yaar (He’s a terrible guy)”. Anil apologized and tried to explain as he said, “It was nothing against you. I merely made a suggestion to the director, and the final decision was his. Remember this. These people fire off the shoulders of heroes.” Nana dismissed this excuse, and said, “But you were the star, of course he’d listen to you.”
