Personal Quote:

We're yet to make inroads into the West and the way Chinese cinema is made. I mean, long before Ang Lee's 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon', Bruce Lee had made an impact on the Western audience with his 'Enter The Dragon'. Indian cinema is yet to make that kind of impact. But we're getting there. See more »

Trivia:

In two completely unconnected movies, Irrfan Khan speaks of 'Richard Parker': the tiger in Life Of Pi and Spiderman's dad in The Amazing Spiderman. See more »
