i believe that if you have a good story to tell, then you must find a great way to tell it. For me, the way was films. Serendipity Film's first venture, Being Cyrus, set the mood for the kind of cinema that excited me: Intelligent and moving films with an international mood. With Teen Patti, I wanted to take this premise to the next level. I had such a gripping story that I had to find an extraordinary cast to inhabit it. I know that we succeeded on that front. But along with acting genius, I wanted to summon the very finest technicians, who would take the emotional dexterity of my actors and my director's cinematic vision and hone it for a universal audience. Each time I watch Teen Patti it moves me not only because it's an uber-sharp, edge-of-your-seat thriller but also because it's a profoundly human story that cuts through all parameters of nationality and language and gets you in the gut. I feel so inordinately lucky to have been able to serve a film like Teen Patti.
THE BUZZ
It wll be exciting to see Hollywood legend Sir Ben Kingsley and Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan share screen space for the first time in the film.
