Deleted scene :- Independence Day

This was one of the most expensive scenes shot in the film with over 200 extras in detailed period costumes and a location that was setup in the tiniest of detail by the art team from scratch. This scene was supposed to come right after Pandurang proves his worth in his very first meeting with Hastar. This would have been the first time we would have seen Vinayak’s heart softening towards his son as he takes him out for a treat. In the edit though we realised that all the purposes of this scene were already being fullfilled more efficiently by the other scenes present that remained in the final cut, so there was no need to reitirate the same emotions twice by stopping the plot. Hence, this scene after many debates and recutting, was finally taken off for good.
