It was a very ambitious project. At that time, before the start of DDLJ, I had started my film as a director with Teerandaz (1993) with Sunny Deol and Sridevi, along with another film. I was working on both these films as director. Yashji came to me and said that ‘Aditya has asked for you to work on his film’. I told him, ‘Yashji, whenever Adi starts his film, I will do it. This is a promise to you’, and I stood by that. bIt was a beautiful experience working with Aditya, where Yashji was working as production manager for him, doing the recce, sitting on the music, the script… of course, Adi had his own vision regarding the film and stuck to it.”
