While talking to PTI at Shyam Benegal’s last rites, Gulzar said, “He hasn’t departed, we have departed from him and seen him off. He brought a revolution, he has gone with that revolution of change in cinema. Nobody else will be able to bring that wave, revolution once again. We will remember him for a long time and we will talk about him for a long to come.”

“I was a changed person after I returned from the shoot of the film. I think we will miss his talks the most. He mesmerised us whenever he used to talk. It’s a huge loss,” said Shreyas Talpade, who worked with Benegal in Welcome To Sajjanpur.
