The students also wanted him to share his journey in the Bollywood industry as a director, making films like Rang de Basanti and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

While the director is busy with the shoot of his upcoming movie Mirzya, his first love story he wants to take out some time from his hectic schedule and fly to Delhi to address the students at the University.
