The veteran actor didn't deny being late as well to the sets sometimes and said, "I did not arrive late deliberately. I just had to do yoga before leaving for work, which took time. Sometimes I used to reach 12 o’clock in the morning at 9 o’clock in the morning, but my memory was very good and still is. I used to read my lines and finish the shoot in one take. In this way, sometimes the shooting was over before time. I was a tech artist. No producer accused me of delaying the film and that is why I have done 10–11 films with Manmohan Desai and 13 films with Harmesh Malhotra. Otherwise, why would these producers offer me films? Do you know that I was also offered ‘Sholay’, ‘Wall’, ‘Satay Par Satta’?"
Legendary actor, Shashi Kapoor had made a special place in the hearts of the audience. From being a magnetic, romantic lover to a dignified middle-class hero and a principled brother, he had all the flavours of a typical Hindi cinema actor, which had fetched him the immense love and appreciation of the audience. On the other hand, Shatrughan Sinha had brought along a new genre, a new attitude of the 'hero of the story' with his moustache and angry young man aura. He had devised his own technique of playing the role, which was a little unconventional for these times but his diversity had won him a huge fan following. Well, the ever young, Shatru ji is playing his second innings in politics and is winning hearts as usual!
