He added, “Whenever we meet, humesha yeh rehta hai ke kab hona hai. Ab wo waqt aa raha hai. Cameo toh ho hi gaya hai indirect toh film bhi iss baar honi chahiye. Andar se mujhe bhi feeling aa rahi hai. Shah Rukh ne bhi mujhe bola hai ke iss baar mujhe kuch lag raha hai ke hum log kuch kar payenge saath mein (We always want to answer ‘when is it happening’. Now the time has come, he has already made an indirect cameo so now the film remains. I have a feeling, and even Shah Rukh Khan has told me he has a similar feeling – we will be able to do something together this time).”
Vishal Bhardwaj is known for his unique style of filmmaking and has directed several critically acclaimed movies such as “Maqbool,” “Omkara,” and “Haider.” He has also composed music for many of his films and is considered one of the most versatile artists in the Indian film industry.
