I hope many people will get inspired and entertained after watching this movie. It is a typical Vidhu Vinod Chopra film. It has elements of realism in it. This is a very inspiring story. The role was very challenging... The story covers a period of nine or ten years. I lost weight, and very little make-up was used."
