I experienced a lot of things while I was working with Dibakar Banerjee.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had the feeling I was going to be successful, and I didn't want to be another disappointing Indian.
Although working with Amitabh Bacchan was a different experience altogether, I just enjoyed it.
I have worked with top directors like Rajamouli and Vinayak and with upcoming directors like Vamsi.
Never at any point did I feel like missing a training session. I was very keen on improving as a cricketer and as an international player.
I moved to cricket at a time when I was at the peak of my career, and I can guarantee you that no one else from Bollywood would have done that.
Because I knew I had got success at Ranji level, I was confident I would get some success in international cricket too.
Whenever I do something, it is rooted in the Indian opportunity.
In Bollywood, if you work with a superstar, even if you are a newcomer, you become a superstar. That didn't happen with me.
Mamata Banerjee is just a casual worker, just like a commoner.
India has given me everything. It has made me Vijay Mallya.
