It's like a dream come true when you work with someone of that stature. I have always loved Jackie Chans films. When you actually want something in your life God makes it happen. Today, I am happy that it did happen and I am distributing the film in India. So, the whole journey was special and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.

I don't know. I leave up to the audience to decide that when they see the film. For me, as an actor it will always be a special film for me as it is produced under the name of my father. So, it's very close to my heart.

They are very sweet. It was actually very tough to survive in China without the desi khaana. Being a vegetarian, it becomes all the more difficult. In the first schedule, it was difficult but then in the second one, we used to cook for them too. When you come together for a movie you discuss friends and many more things and that's the best part of life.

It makes you feel important and nice. The journey from a local train without a ticket to flying in a private jet with Jackie Chan has not been bad.

I met Salman Khan a couple of days back in Spain. I told Jackie Chan about it and he said let's produce a film together. (laughs) You never know when something is in the pipeline in the years to come.

Acting Or Producing Films; Which Is More Difficult?

Acting Or Producing Films; Which Is More Difficult?

An actor's job is not that difficult. You have the vanity van waiting for you. But as a producer, you make sure that all the vanity vans were there, whether the air-conditioners are working, you have to keep on signing cheque for the others. You are answerable to everyone. I remember Jackie was in India for 10-11 hours but it took me months of preparation to make that happen. It's not easy but I am glad that I could pull it off.
