Is Rowdy Rathore that Prabhudeva is directing for his banner, the first step in this direction? Sanjay concedes that he loves the ‘dhishum dhishum’ films from fight master Shetty’s era. "And when I heard the story of the film Prabhu wanted to make with Akshay Kumar I loved it so much that I decided to produce it. I was the one who came up with the title and this surprises a lot of people because they imagine me

to be this intense, temperamental, mysterious director. But I talk a lot and laugh a lot too," he chuckles.



His favourite action flick is Kung Fu Hustle: "I love the madness and the action that is so wonderfully-choreographed. But it must have been a difficult film to make," he muses.
