What Nag said
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Nag shared a happy picture with Priyanka and Swapna, as all of them smiled for the camera. In the caption, he began, “Around 10 years ago, the three of us began our debut feature film ‘Yevade’ together... Vyjayanti was at a low and this film was a risky one...I remember a day of shoot with 20 extras and it rained...we couldn't finish and meant we had to come back and setup again...that extra cost was unaccounted for and made us break down and panic...in retrospect that cost wasn't much at all...from that to this...”
'I feel proud and blessed'
He went on to admit that there might be shortcomings but they will continue to do better. “10 years later...every movie we have made together, is not just successful at the box office, but a small milestone in film history, in its own way...I feel proud and blessed to stand between these two...and be part of the impossible things we are pulling off... There are shortcomings...there is so much room to improve... And we shall. For now, just Gratitude (folded hands emoticons),” he concluded.
