Quotes
Sanjay Gupta
Director of Kaante, discussing the film’s original abusive dialogue and subsequent revisions
“Abuses were written in the script but then we didn’t use them. Amitji said that nobody would abuse me, so I said, ‘Okay, sir. That doesn’t mean the others won’t abuse each other.’ Later, we tweaked those parts during the censor process as well.”
