You strongly believe in repeating your actors. Satyagraha is your second film with Amitabh Bachchan, fifth with Ajay Devgn, third with Arjun Rampal and fourth with Manoj Bajpayee.
They are actors who can play any role efficiently and most importantly, they are different characters in each of my film. If Amitabhji hadn’t done Satyagraha, I wouldn’t have been able to find another actor of his age, who is such an active person.u00a0Ajay has a certain middle-class aura that helps him connect with the audience. This helps me to cast him in versatile roles. Manoj Bajpayee is a brilliant actor while Arjun Rampal brings a lot to the table. I don’t look at them as stars, I respect them for who they are.u00a0
