Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj says there have been times when actors working in his films have not got along with each other and in a situation like this, all he had to do was "learn the art of conning."
"That if jealousy creeps in between them then my life will become difficult here also. But their relationship was so beautiful and healthy. I was fortunate to have both of them. Both of them are beautiful human beings. I enjoyed a lot working with them."
On being asked if it was difficult to pull the project through when actors don't get along, the director said, "You have to learn the art of conning."

Vishal said with "Pataakha" he had the good feeling about going on set everyday something which does not happen "with some actors."
"This is the feeling that you will get when you work with newcomers. Seriously, I was reminded of my early days as a director. I used to look forward to going on the set. Otherwise, with some actors, you dread going to the set."
