All the money affairs, entered the big match and the big picture played in the mind.
Sometimes, when I thought of the border, I remembered All the stress I went through when making it.
Be creative on the day when shooting, and then, later tonight, driven by many other things that happen around the film …
I will finish shooting sometimes at 10 nights and sometimes, us Will leave until 2am.
After that, my accountant and I will undergo spending that day.

They know Sunny Dol has been thrown to play Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri, so the actor wants to know how the film is overall play.
I refuse to give anyone the script in their hands.
I used to be a very secret about my script.
The border is based on details The real I have about war.
It requires a lot of research and I choose to keep fists closed as far as the script.
It took a while, but I found Akshaye Khanna and she played well.
Getting Sunny and Suniel Shetty is a home run.
In fact, Sunjel And I haven’t done any work before this film, but he and I m Engklik.
Ditto, Jackie Shroff.
