Bollywood actor Abhay Deol, who is working with Zoya Akhtar for the first time in "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", says he found the director to be very sharp.

"I like Zoya's understanding of human emotions and characters. She is very sharp and working with her I've realised that you cannot fool this girl.

You cannot put up an act in front of her. She reads people like a book. She likes subtleties and that's what I like about her, " the actor told.

"Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", a story of three friends, also stars Farhan Akhtar and Hrithik Roshan and is slated to release July 15.
