There was no pressure of working with names like Shashi Kapoor, Rekha, Amrish Puri and A.K. Hangal because I was familiar with all of them, courtesy my mother.

It's impossible to make 'Hum Paanch' again. Some people tried but it was a failure.

As for me, my foundations were laid in the south. We did the post-production of 'Hum Paanch' in Chennai, with many technicians from here working for us.

I have always admired Mr. Naseeruddin Shah, Mr. Anupam Kher, the late Om Puri ji, and Amitabh Bachchan.

Vikrant Massey

The script of 'Hum Paanch' was extremely powerful, written by Imtiaz Patel. He has written the characters so well, people got hooked with each of them.

'Mr. India' was a turning point. Before that, Hindi moviegoers saw me just as a glamour girl. After 'Mr. India,' they felt I could act.

'Hum Paanch' never lost its magic unlike some of the current shows, which go off air because they lose fizz. Even after running for almost 10 years, the show went off air only because the makers decided to end it.

Ashok Saraf

It is the pride to play for India that keeps me going. Not many get a chance to play for India and I feel very fortunate to be still playing. The will to do well for India is a big motivation.

I think taking the biggest star in India and the biggest star in America, and putting them together in a movie that starts in America and ends up in India, or starts in India and goes to America. I think it would be a buddy cop formula.

Brett Ratner

What's life without risks? When I made 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam,' everybody said in India you can never have a husband say that I am uniting my wife with her lover. The male audience would reject it, and it is a male audience and hero-oriented industry.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali

During childbirth and hospice I'll sing gospel songs that my grandma taught me when I was younger, or something I've made up, or I'll hum. I just play things that I think the audience will like.

Going to play in India at the end of my career was particularly special. I never thought I would get the chance to even visit India, let alone play football there.
