All these actors standing here are great and every day I have worked with them, I’ve learnt something.”

Looking at today’s generation of actors, I feel amazed at how good their work is and how in the first films they do so well, in their initial years they’ve already done so well. It took me fifty years to be where I am and I’m still learning. And then these beautiful young actors come and do great work in their first film itself and I get to learn from them.”
