My association with Tom saab began 10 years ago, when we worked together on two Urdu productions I was directing. Ghalib Rang, where Tom saab and Juhi Babbar read letters to Ghalib; and Rang Aur Noor ki Baat, Saahir ke Saath, on the life and work of iconic poet and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi. A great admirer of Ludhianvi's work that he was, I still remember how he added his personal touch to the script.
