He wanted to cast Medha in his film and thought that Medha would do well as an actress. The veteran actor also managed to get Medha’s phone number from Indian actress, Neena Kulkarni.

Mahesh was kind of adamant about casting Medha in his film, even after knowing that she was a debutant from Neena. The legendary actor called Medha and offered her the film. Medha had one condition before signing for the film. As she was on a Europe tour at the time when Mahesh offered her the film, she told the veteran actor that she could shoot only after she returned back from the actor. Mahesh didn’t give a second thought and agreed to Medha’s condition. He also postponed the shoot for her.

"Mahesh's cancer was a shock for us because he never even had fever. He never got ill. But Mahesh took the serious disease in his own way and he asked me 'let's face it'. He went for chemo and surgery and it went on for 11 hours. He was tension free and we would get inspired seeing him. His first thing was not to make a big issue of his cancer. He also shot the film 'Antim'. He did not stop working. He is a warrior. No matter how many obstacles he faces, he never falls. He has immense love for work."
