Producers Aaj Kal

"I think both Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan have been extremely professional. I couldn't tell for a minute that they are first time producers. They have left no stone unturned. Right from approaching me for the film to the time that we are now ready to showcase our film to the world. Today's producers are more agile and are jack of all. They are young, think new and are far more experienced in the film industry than other independent producers."

Imtiaz Kal

"Having worked with Imtiaz Ali, I can definitely tell that the success of his earlier film 'Jab We Met' hasn't got into him. He hasn't even realised to date how big a film 'Love Aaj Kal' has turned out to be. That's what makes him special. The fact that Imtiaz is here to make good cinema and not be affected by the success or the failure of the film. What makes it even more special is the fact that Imtiaz had signed me for this film before Om Shanti Om had released. That brings in you a lot of confidence."

Imtiaz Aaj

"I would call him a new age director. But he does have sensibilities as an Indian and what the Indian cinema is really about. He has a good balance of both."

The film

"The film is what the title is. Love was the same twenty years back or today. It has never changed. For different people, it might be different things. What's good about this film is that every generation will relate to this film. Like I said, love is a universal language. Everyone experience it at some point in their life. That's the USP of the film. I'm sure people are going to use the same lines that Saif and I have used in 'Love Aaj Kal'. It'll be a trendsetter."

Saif Ali Khan Aaj

"He is one of the most talented actors our film industry has. He is also someone who has brought in a different kind of actor after 'Dil Chahta Hai'. Apart from that, 'Dil Chahta Hai' was the first of its kind of new cinema to venture out of the traditional commercial films being churned out. Saif Ali Khan has also improved his dancing skills (laughs) off late. There isn't any other change except that he has grown a beard and plays a sardar."

Deepika's Love Aaj

"I believe in being loved and being in a beautiful relationship. I've seen my parents in a lovely twenty five years of their marriage and happy together. That's what I've seen all my life. Both together always. I am like that and so is Ranbir. Nothing has changed between me and Ranbir. We've spent a lot of time together and in return we've known each other better. I am comfortable with Ranbir today."
