When Kishore turned up on a movie's set with half makeup

Reportedly, Kishore Kumar would only sing and proceed with his recordings after his secretary confirmed that the producer had made the payment. When the music maestro had discovered that his payments were pending and not fully paid, he walked up on one of his sets with half makeup done. Reportedly, Kishore Kumar only had makeup on one side of his face. On looking at him, when his director questioned him about the same, the singer-actor replied by saying that the half makeup is for the half payment.

Another such incident took place on the sets of the film, Bhai-Bhai. Kumar had reportedly refused to act because the director of the movie, M.V. Raman owed him Rs 5000. However, Ashok Kumar, his co-star coaxed him to do the scene. When Kishore Kumar's shooting had begun, he walked a few paces and said, "Paanch Hazaar Rupaiya" (five thousand rupees), did a somersault, reached the end of the floor, and left the studio.
