National Award winning filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, known for popular films like "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S." and "3 Idiots", says he wishes he could've directed favourite actor Dilip Kumar sometime in his career.

Dilip Kumar turned 92 recently, and he is counted amongst Bollywood's most iconic stars.

"My favourite actor is Dilip Kumar, I think I should have been born little earlier or he should have been born a little late. I wish I could have worked with him," Hirani said at an event here Friday.


Hirani is currently waiting for the release of his next directorial "PK", which stars Aamir Khan, Sushant Singh Rajput, Sanjay Dutt, Anushka Sharma and Saurabh Shukla in key roles.
