Most of the things in your life are not in your control - the family you are born into, the parents, and the siblings you have. It is only friendship and love that you create for yourself in this lifetime.
Abhimanyu Singh is a great guy to work with. He's very hard working.
Mumaith Khan has unbelievable energy. She is a powerhouse performer.
I want to do films in different languages because I want to tell stories in different genres.
When 'Dum Maro Dum' came my way, I took it up without thinking that I was crossing any boundary. It was a good film, and I wanted to do it.
