I mean, I'd personally love to do an Indo-American film, which is so much of a trend today with 'Monsoon Wedding' and 'Bend it like Bekham' making it big. I had a script on the lines of a Hindu-Muslim love story from London. But since I didn't have dates at the time, it didn't work out.

I feel if they need me they will call me. So it is better to wait rather than rue." (November 29, 2005) Show less «
