The 78-year-old, whose last stint was with the director's chair 'Veer Zaara, "in 2004, said he thought long and hard about returning to the studio floor and admits that he has no idea of the correct move.
"It's been seven years since I directed" Veer Zaara-'and when I started working on my new film, my inner voice asking me many questions to be heard, "said award-winning filmmaker this week.
"Are you sure you want to go direct, you're almost 80 years and the audience is getting younger by the day? I can really speak from my heart and still expect the youth of today to listen to me? …

Kaif is a Bollywood leading ladies more bankable.

"A film I'm working on a simple faith … the love that my audiences have given me over the years. They tolerated my indulgences in the last 50 years. I am sure I enjoy again," he added .
