He's said, "It has been absolutely magical for me, I truly enjoyed it, it gave me the opportunity to work with Rakeysh, who has been a very very dear friend of mine and somebody I have been wanting to work with for a very long time.
It also gave me the opportunity to work with two of my favorite actors, Rishi kapoor and Waheeda Rehman, and work on a wonderful script."
And more than anything else, he's been impressed with his new heroine Sonam Kapoor.
He's added, "She's a wonderful girl, all full of life, and exuberant, she's always smiling and I admire that about her, it is wonderful to see that kind of confidence she has, because this is her second film and she was put in front of the camera with the likes of Om Puri and Rishi Kapoor and Waheeda Rehman.
And these are stall worths and I think the best in the business would be scared to stand in front of and to hold your honour in front of them takes a lot of guts and a great amount of confidence and talent, and she's really come off wonderful in the film and she's a wonderful wonderful talent.
He adds that there are traces of her father Anil Kapoor in her, she works as hard as he does and that she'll make her father very proud.
We just hope after all the praises; we don't get to see a thanda type 'Saawariya' act from Sonam all over again.
