It was also his first time that we worked with Yash Raj Films, and it was a new territory for him – action, and we were trying to make him international, so a lot of bite made me more. Although discussions are more brought. Tiger was not completely under my control, I think that something interesting happened between the two of us – the energy that was formed between us. »»
