‘A dream to work with Mani sir’
Aditi Rao Hydari who will soon be seen in Mani Ratnam's Kaatru Veliyidai, ticked another wish off her bucket list, when she was approached for the Tamil film. “As a kid, I wished to work with Mani Ratnam. Years later, I finally shot for a film with him. Kaatru Veliyidai broke the complacency within me. I took it up because I was moved by the character. By the time I finished reading the script, I was in tears. There are certain roles you want on your resume. This is one of them. Mani sir makes it endearing. He has a natural gift of showing love in a magical way.”
‘I am so glad Sussanne liked the film (Kaabil). Her opinion means the world to me. I am the happiest when people say Kaabil truly is a small film with the largest heart in the world.’
—Hrithik Roshan
