One day Sachin asked Girish Joshi the screenplay writer read out the script to me. That was it! I was possessed. The script hit me like a thunder bolt and I couldn‘t get it out of my system. Every single person involved, contributed immensely and today when I see the film, I feel proud of myself and my whole team. Kaksparsh is my best till date."
