When I signed this film, I told Adi sir it is a childhood dream, an honour to become a director after I saw 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'. It was something that always attracted me.'

So I said I have this and I was not aware if they would take it or not at that time, but the fact that they are making it with newcomers with so much belief--even after making so many films, I feel like a newcomer.'
