Govind Namdev, who also starred in the movie, thought he was misused in this situation, even though Ghai's ability to bring the actors together was well-received by the public. Govind revealed in a recent interview that he went through a "traumatic time" during the time that Ghai was filming with him before removing his part from the picture entirely.
Saif Ali Khan, Urmila Matondkar, and Zakir played the key characters in the film Ek Haseena Thi. Zakir is a moneylender who is threatening Saif and after his life. He remembered his scene being split into two sections.
Govind Namdev may also be seen in the Amit Rai-helmed sequel OMG 2, which features Pankaj Tripathi in the title role. He has no regrets about how his part in OMG 2 was altered during editing. This time, the actor doesn't have as much time on screen.
