“He’s still the same and that’s a very good quality that he has. No matter what is asked of him, he obliges with a simple ‘okay’. Uske chehre pe aapko kabhi shikan nahi dikhegi (you will never see a wrinkle on his face).” The veteran filmmaker hailed the actor as a 'treat to work with'.

“He never cribbed or whined about it. He never demanded us to let him leave early. He was accommodating throughout the shoot,” shared Taurani.

However, Rishi told them, "Mujhe kyun sunaate ho? Ranbir ne okay kiya hai toh banaao picture(why are you narrating me? When Ranbir has agreed to do, then go ahead making the film)!’ But he never came on set because he liked keeping his personal and professional dynamics separate,” stated Taurani.
The late legendary actor was known for his blunt statements and brutal honesty, Taurani recalled how he ‘loved’ the film after watching it.
Ramesh Taurani’s last produced film was Ishq Visk Rebound starring Rohit Saraf, Jibraan Khan and Pashmina Roshan.
