"Anil was not just a hero, he was also the production guy on the film. It was Anil, who saw me while performing in Prithvi Theatre and suggested my name to Boney Kapoor.

"It's destiny that from doing a two-dialouge role, I became his friend, family member. Our relationship has only grown with time," he added. Kaushik has also directed Kapoor in films like "Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hai" (1999) and the 2000 romantic drama "Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai". Kapoor, who was also present at the trailer launch, said both him and Kaushik share same passion towards their work and life. "We both love films, being on the set and being part of the director's vision. We both love acting and are passionate about it. We also love laughing and making fun of ourselves. And when we are not together, hum ek dusre ki burai karte hai," Kapoor quipped.
