‘I grew very close to Harish Shankar during the post production of ‘Gabbar Singh.’ I was involved very closely in making that film as a biggest blockbuster not only as a Nizam distributor but also involving in post production. Before the release of ‘Gabbar Singh,’ I took a word from Harish Shankar to direct a project on our banner. But, directors generally change after enjoying the commercial success.
