Shroff hadn’t worked with K Vishwanath again in the next 30 years, but he kept in touch with the senior filmmaker. Recalling his last conversation with K Vishwanath, Shroff said, “I spoke to him a few months ago, asking about his health and we had a general conversation.”
One of the highlights of their collaboration Sangeet was Madhuri Dixit‘s double-role. As Jackie Shroff’s co-star, Madhuri’s performance won raves and movie buffs consider K Vishwanath’s film to be one of the best in both Jackie and Madhuri’s careers.
