Nana Patekar recalled shooting for 'Pratighaat', in which Sooraj Barjatya served as assistant director. He shared that one day Barjatya brought his shoes. "I said, 'Don't do this...I can get my...shoes.' He said, 'No, sir (with folded hands).' I said 'Sooraj, you're...heir to this big organisation (Rajshri Productions), don't do this.' He said, 'I'm...assistant, this is my job'," Nana said.
