Coordination and understanding between actors is very important. Your hard work goes in vain if the timing is not correct. There are times when we feel that we have done a scene correctly, but the audience is unable to connect with it. If you are unable to concentrate, then you will not get your timing correct. You have to concentrate and think a lot before doing a shot. In fact, other genres give you more time to have fun during the shoot. It is very important to get the timing correct. In between shots there were times when we had a lot of fun, but it takes a lot of effort to make people laugh. "Working in a comedy might appear as fun but it is not. The actor says comedy as a genre is quite difficult. Hopefully, there will be many more collaborations together," said Anil. After that we have done quite a bit of work together. The first time he said cut and action was during the shoot of a film he was not directing, but he came as a guest director.

Talking about his recent and upcoming films, the actor added: "I feel I can relate to the kind of films that are being made now - like 'Dil Dhadakne Do', in which I worked with Zoya (Akhtar). Then, suddenly when soft films started happening, I was like, how do I fit myself in these? '1942: A Love Story' was the only love story I did," he recalled. Before that, I did strong and macho characters in films like 'Ram Lakhan' (1989), 'Rakhwala' (1989) and 'Kishen Kanhaiya' (1990). Still, I did films like 'Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai' (2000) and 'Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain' (1999) and they became successful.

I asked them, from which angle do I look romantic? I was already a father of three kids at that time. He added: "I even suggested Aamir Khan and Bobby Deol for the role. I told them clearly that I wouldn't be able to do such a role," he recalled. " '1942: A Love Story' was the only love story I did.
