As cinema lovers, we don’t stick to ‘we’re going to stick to this thing’. We come with love, so, I like to work with you, I’ll love to work with you. So, we all have that synergy only thing you need is God’s blessing is a good script. Blessing is not a production or a budget, it’s about a good script. ‘Yes, this is it. Yeah, we are going to do it’. So, we are all aligned to ideas, we’re going to work together. Once God’s blessing comes, I think I’ll crack something and I’ll move forward.”
