The director told IANS, "Working with Mr. Bachchan is a wholesome experience. You can learn so much from him about work, life, relationships, respecting people, attention to detail and pretty much everything."

But, what stood out for him was Big B's curiosity and the constant urge to excel in life, as he further mentioned, "While I was working on 'Goodbye', I saw him coming on set with curiosity like that of a newcomer in the industry, and this was every single day. He has that childlike curiosity, he wants to explore more even after achieving so much in his life and that's what makes him a true legend." Dharmendra Slams Javed Akhtar For Claiming That Actor Refused Amitabh Bachchan's Lead Role in Zanjeer for Being 'Grim and Bitter' (View Tweet).
