It was a dream come true for the three times National Award winning director, Madhur Bhandarkar, when he met hollywood Actor, Sir Ben Kingsley, at the 40th International Film Festival of India, in Panjim, Goa, recently. Madhur is a die-hard fan of Kingsley. Madhur had gone to Goa to attend the festival, where Sir Ben Kingsley was the official chief guest. Madhur met Kingsley and discussed hollywood and bollywood. The major point of discussion was Kingsley’s film "Gandhi", which Madhur claims to have seen at least fifteen times. Madhur excitedly said- “I have always loved sir Kingsley’s work and I must say he is a genius. I have seen his film ‘Gandhi’ around fifteen times. It was an enthralling moment for me to meet. I simply loved his performance in "Gandhi" and "Schindler's List". These are his two films I can watch time and again. During our long conversation, we discussed a lot about films. I spoke lot about Hollywood and Sir Ben’s performance in Gandhi. I also discussed about the length of the film and the making of Gandhi. We also had a good long chat on contemporary cinema.”
