Talking about the event, Abhay told a daily, "I actually rubbed my eyes in disbelief. I couldn't believe that I was getting a chance to interact with two of the most powerful names in Hollywood."
Deol admits that neither De Niro nor Scorsese has seen his film. However, when they got to know that he was an actor from India who had come to Doha with one of his films, they were very polite with him.
Talking about the two actors, he says, "These guys are amazingly humble. Both, De Niro and Scorsese, congratulated me when they got to know that my film was a part of the festival. They wished me good luck for my career."
"Both these guys knew that I was a newbie wanting to get my work noticed at the festival. And they had only kind words for me. I wish at least one of them had seen my work though", adds Abhay.
