There was a lot of chaos during the  making of Kundan Shah's cult classic "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro" and  it even led to fights between Naseeruddin Shah and Vidhu Vinod  Chopra.
Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra, who wrote the story and  screenplay of the 1983 film, said their team was hungry to  prove a point.
"'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro' was being made at a time when  everyone was hungry, aspirational, angry and keen to prove a  point. It was a fortunate amalgamation of a bunch of people  who hated and loved each other simultaneously," Mishra said in  an interview.
"Like, Naseer and Vinod (who was the production  controller on the film) have the most complex relationship in  the world. They can't live with each other, can't live without  each other. I've seen them get into fist fights! I've come in  between them and got hit too, really!," he said.
Chopra quipped,"Ha, maara hai humne (we've hit each  other)."
The "Parinda" director said everyone on the sets was  confused as to what exactly was being made, .

Producer Kathleen Kennedy has  addressed the allegations of sexual misconduct surrounding  Harvey Weinstein, saying a commission needs to be set up with  aiming at "zero tolerance policies for abusive behavior".
The 64-year-old Oscar-winning producer said Hollywood  needs to send across a strong message to "predators" like the  media mogul that being in a high place will no more be able to  shield them from the consequences of their actions, reported  Elle magazine.
"Increased awareness of the belittlement,  objectification, and predation long endured by women who work  in film will certainly be one result of the exposure of what  Harvey Weinstein did and was permitted to do...
"It seems to me that the solution would include zero-  tolerance policies for abusive behavior and a secure,  reliable, unimpeachable system in which victims of abuse can  report whats happened to them with a confident expectation  that action will be taken without placing their employment,  reputations, and ...

Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani has  revealed that such is the emphasis on creating a "buzz" in the  industry that he was told to ask Farhan Akhtar to create a  "scandal" to get more limelight than Kangana Ranaut during  "Lucknow Central".

"I got a call from a marketing person saying Kangana's  scandal is going on, tell Farhan to create a scandal. This is  an actual conversation! Farhan has to have a scandal otherwise  our buzz won't go up. I said 'but what scandal?' and they were  like 'any scandal but we need it,'" Advani said.
"I don't understand it at all. How can I approach Farhan  and say 'hey let's have a scandal, otherwise no one will watch  our film,'" he

Actor Kate Winslet has revealed  that she intentionally excluded Harvey Weinstein's name in her  acceptance speech when she won the Best Actress Oscar in 2009.
Winslet, 42, won the Oscar for her role of a former Nazi  woman in the post-World War II drama.
Weinstein, who has been accused of sexual harassment by  more than 30 women, was known for his lobbying during the  Oscars and his name often figures in the 'thank you' speeches  of the winners. The film mogul distributed the movie through  his studio Miramax Films.
Winslet, however, declined to name him at all,  acknowledging 19 others instead. The actor told the Los  Angeles Times that she was told she must acknowledge him in  her speech.
"I remember being told. 'Make sure you thank Harvey if  you win'. And I remember turning around and saying, 'No I  won't. No I won't'. And it was nothing to do with not being  grateful. If people aren't well-behaved, why would I thank  him?," she said.

French President Emmanuel  Macron said that he is moving to revoke Hollywood producer  Harvey Weinstein's Legion of Honor.
Macron made the announcement a day after Weinstein was  expelled by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In an interview with French TV channel TF1, Macron  confirmed he had reached out to the Grand Chancellor of the  Order in Paris to ask the institution to revoke Weinstein's  Legion of Honor, France's highest award.
Then-president Nicolas Sarkozy had given the Legion of  Honor to Weinstein in 2012, after "The Artist", which  Weinstein distributed and campaigned for, won five Oscars.
"I have asked the Grand Chancellor of the Order to  examine quickly this case and launch a disciplinary procedure  (against Weinstein)... considering the gravity of the facts,"  said Macron, adding that the Chancellor will have to make the  ultimate decision.
Earlier this week, the Grand Chancellor of the Order told  Variety that it would not consider stripping Weinstein .
