Aur woh suraj dhalte samay woh lighting prapt hoti thi, toh teen saal lage woh shot lene ke liye. Kyunki harr baar woh shot lene ke liye jaaye hum woh Suraj dhal jaaye... so he was like no no, I want that particular shot." (There is a very interesting story behind the lantern scene in Sholay featuring Jaya. Our cameraman wanted the lighting to fall perfectly on her, and that effect would only come during sunset. But every time we went to shoot, the sun would set too quickly and the moment was gone. He would insist, ‘No, I want only this particular shot.’ It took almost three years of waiting to finally capture that one scene.)
