What made you cast Neil Nitin Mukesh?

I cast him solely on the basis of his performance in Johnny Gaddar. Neil was tailor-made for the character.

What do you think went wrong with Kabul Express?

I don't know. As far as I am concerned, I couldn't have asked for more. My first film was completed successfully. Trade analysts say the film made Rs 7 crores. For a first time director, what more can I ask? I got a banner like Yash Raj Films to support me.
