He told the Indianexpress.com, "I will tell you an interesting story about PT-76. Like Raja said about how we resurrected it, but its life was literally up till we did the last shot with it. As we were doing the last show, the hull blew up and black smoke started coming out of the tank. Now, I was in the middle of a 100-ft deep lake on the tank. When the thing blew up, we were like, 'Oh ok, that's a problem.' We had to turnaround, come back on land. Our driver was Mondala sahab, a soldier in his 60s, he was recruited in 1972, and he drove the real tank for us in the film. He came out and said, 'Sir, iska toh hogaya.' It has breathed its last in the last shot, and now it has gone. It only came alive to give us the movie!"
