Tanuja described her experience working with Raj Kapoor on the set of Prem Rog (1982), stating, "He was an actors' director. He was a principled director. He was strict. Silence during a shot meant silence." She further detailed the production environment in Mysore, noting, "I would get up before 10 am, by 7 am, to do make-up, do my hair. It was hot in Mysore, in May, in the palace."
