Apt role
Need an apt story to collaborate with top actors: Bhardwaj
Bhardwaj, who worked with Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, and Shahid Kapoor in the past, says he needs an apt story to collaborate with top actors.
"I want to work with superstars. I approach them. If there would have been some response, they would have been in some film of mine. But they aren't there. There has to be the right subject," he said.

"They (actors) are taking the risk today and it is a good sign for our cinema. Aamir Khan is the only daring actor. He transformed amazingly for 'Dangal'. He admits and acknowledges his age and works accordingly," said Bhardwaj.
Audience
A limited audience enjoys my kind of cinema: Vishal
Vishal acknowledges he has his own set of audience which enjoys watching his kind of cinema.
"I have a small or limited audience but I make films to cater to everyone. You don't know your audience and the day you come to know about this, you are finished. For me, it's always about the story I want to convey to people," he said.
