Quotes

Anubhav Sinha

Director of the film Ra.One

“We were shooting Chammak Challo at Yash Raj Films. And a very big political leader was visiting us, some foreign leader. So Yash ji was sitting on set alongside that leader who had come to see Shah Rukh Khan shoot a film. And Yash ji had a very peculiar speech pattern, not everybody could comprehend it. So the song started playing and Yash ji, from a distance, called me and said, 'Anubhav, should I say action?' And I couldn’t understand what he was saying as the music was also playing simultaneously, loud. Then Shah Rukh came running and told me that he wants to say action. So I immediately went to him, touched his feet, and said, 'If you would say action on my set, my life would be made.' Just imagine, Yash Chopra, at my film set, saying action. That would be so huge. I was always a devotee of his cinema. So I said, 'Sir, please.'”
