"I got the idea from my own life in which I roller-coastered along from failure to success to almost failure again. And I realised that through it all I have not really changed as a person. So I started discovering the roots of my equanimity and I rediscovered the wisdom of my grandfather's sayings" said the actor who was last seen in the box office dud "Victory".
