After Gadar 2, it became possible, and Aamir came straight to me and told me that he wanted to do this film, and I was very happy.”
He added, “Raj and I have given three films before, which had intensity and depth of characters. So, this subject is definitely like that. It is a play that has been adapted into a film and we will try to release it as soon as possible. We were waiting for Aamir’s film to release.”
