Talking about Irrfan Khan’s acting in the film, Dhulia said that he did not get a National Award because Dhulia had a fight with the producer. So out of revenge, the filmmaker said, he (producer) did not send the film Haasil for the National Awards, which, he felt, was a huge blow.
Dhulia was sure that Khan would have got the award in 2004. He then further spoke about how the late actor was capable of achieving much more. He, as an actor, struggled a lot in his early days in Bollywood, Dhulia said.
