Bollywood actors Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma’s Bollywood film Antim: The Final Truth, an official remake of Pravin Tarde’s Marathi movie Mulshi Pattern, made headlines after its average box-office performance. Now, Tarde and actor Upendra Limaye have expressed strong opinions about Salman’s involvement in the film, with Tarde admitting he hasn’t even seen Antim. The movie was directed by Mahesh Manjrekar
On the chat show on the Marathi digital platform Bol Bhidu, Tarde said, “After watching Mulshi Pattern, Salman took his collar up and kept saying, ‘What a film, what a film, what a film.’ But when he remade Mulshi Pattern, he made a mess of it.
The director mentioned that Salman Khan was impressed with his work and handed him the directorial responsibility. However, due to many changes suggested by Salman, Tarde eventually left the project.
He added, “Mahesh sir directed it while I didn’t have anything to do with that film. But today I would like to reveal publicly that I have still not seen that film named Antim; I am not going to show such daring because, in my mind and heart, there’s only Mulshi Pattern. And I came to know from people that Mulshi Pattern is a better film.
Limaye, who has worked in both Mulshi Pattern and Antim, agreed with Tarde and said, “No question about it. I have worked in both films. I can tell you that the sincerity he (Tarde) showed in the film, which was from the soil (of Mulshi) was killed in the name of refining it. I feel if they had remade it as it is, it would have still appealed.
