There are many brilliant actors, including our own Dilip Kumar, but Robert de Niro is something else.

After working with Woody Allen, sharing screen space with De Niro was a dream come true.

I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.

I cannot take away the fact I am a small-town boy from India, from a lower-middle class family, and was actually standing in front of De Niro - not on an equal level, but as an actor, on the same pedestal.

Like De Niro. He's one of the best character actors we have ever had.

Well I'd really love to work with Robert De Niro, because he's still the most talented actor out there.
