That time he was okay, but he was not too well. He did watch the first half and waited for the second half. I wanted him to see the film in its entirety. Somehow, that couldn't happen. He is not here to enjoy the work he had done, and people appreciate that. That is a regret we have."In a few recollections, the 'Badlapur' director revealed how Dharmendra used to write dialogues in Urdu before the shoot."He's old school. He would write his dialogues in Urdu. And he would also write the core actor's dialogues. He was extremely well-prepared," he added. The film is set to hit theaters on January 1, 2026.
