On his visit to India, the 66 year director went to a party that was organized by Anil Ambani. At the party, he met several well known figures from Bollywood like Amitabh Bachchan and others. The experience was so good for Amitabh Bachchan that he even tweeted about it later on. He mentioned that it was a ‘scintillating’ evening with the great director.
