As an actor Naseerudin Shah is known for intense and art-driven cinema. He has always been critical for mainstream cinema and often showed lack of interest for the same.
Karma released in 1986 and in the late 80s Naseer was balancing between high-octane commercial films and parallel cinema.
However, he stated that he never watched Karma despite starring in it as it was too long and he couldn't sit through the entire movie.
Besides this, there was also a fallout between him and director Subhash Ghai. Naseer agreed to do the film after being promised significant screen-time alongside Dilip Kumar.
However during production, he was upset to find out that many of his scenes with Dilip Kumar were filmed separately using stand-ins.
Karma is the only film directed by Subhash Ghai with Naseerudin Shah as the part of the starcast.
