Taking to his Instagram handle, the 'Sparsh' actor praised his friend and actor Om Puri's performance in the 1983 film. Along with Om Puri, Naseeruddin also praised the performance of Sadashiv Amrapurkar, who played Rama Shetty in the film. While sharing the photo of Om Puri, the actor wrote, "Revisited Ardh Satya on the big screen last night after ages. Both Sadashiv and Om are at their absolute best. Something Nicholas Ray said about Bogart which really applies to Om, His face was a living reproach. He was much more than an actor. He was the very image of our condition." https://www.instagram.com/p/DJqehYNOzsa/? Ardh Satya was directed by Govind Nihalani, and the screenplay was penned by Vijay Tendulkar.
