''I think mixed because I don’t know how much the role of my wife is in 83. So one does not realize that what they are trying to do there.”

I was little worried also because it’s a very athletic job to do that. But the way he worked and the way he was working through out in the last one year, I couldn’t believe that somebody can be so much keen in trying to do so much in that movie.”
