How was it working with Mr. Bachchan?
In the last two-and-half years, I have done five films with Mr. Bachchan. We share a very good equation. I learn from him every minute. Leave aside every film; every shot with him is a learning experience. Mr. Bachchan is a phenomenon.
Priyanka started your career with you in 'Andaaz'. Do you see some change in her acting skills?
Priyanka is slated to become a top actress. I could sense it from the days of 'Andaaz' itself. She was bad at dancing then. But gradually, she changed. She has worked very hard at her dancing. She is blossoming into a fine performer.
The music has caught on, especially the Holi song...
I love that Holi song. On the Holi day, I was away in London. The people from my building raised a public demand that the Holi song from 'Waqt' be played. They are all very fond of me.
You were going to produce 'Waqt' in association with Vipul Shah?
Yes. But things didn't work out. I wanted to produce the film because it is very close to my heart. So I took a part of distribution for it. I took it simply if Vipul promised to begin the film with my father's portrait. He agreed and I am very thankful to him.
