Farhan is a filmmaker, and producer himself, when asked if Rakeysh every had any makers disagreement with Farhan he said, “Filmmaking is a collaborative art if you have Shankar Ehssan Loy working on music you should leave it to them, we have Javed writing music for us in Toofan so I am going to leave it to him but we both listen to each other because it is a collective effort.
Just like that when you are working with big cameramen’s and actors you always learn from them. It is a give an take and life and family works like that.”
