Such an intellectual guy. Love listening to him.

And also I came here from Instagram where he mentions 12000 aspiring actors land in Mumbai every day in the year 2002 but they don't think logically, I can find that part even after watching the whole video.

Devashish's statement about dropping cinema reminds one of Ghatak's similar statement regarding cinema being simply an instrument for him.
