had
written
the
script
a
couple
of
years
back,
and
now
I
am
directing
it,
and
I
am
totally
looking
forward
to
working
with
Deepika
(Padukone).
I
have
loved
the
work
she
has
done,
and
she
is
so
beautiful,
the
camera
loves
her."

cannot
wait
to
work
with
him
again."With
Irrfan
(Khan),
I
am
doing
a
full
feature
film
after
a
very
long
time.
"After
'Maqbool',
I
have
worked
with
him
briefly
in
'Saat
Khoon
Maaf'
and
'Haider'.
So
I
am
quite
excited
that
I
am
getting
to
do
a
full
film
with
Irrfan,
where
he
is
playing
a
protagonist," he
