We were talking about the films we like, that’s when Forrest Gump came up. The next day I was supposed to travel somewhere for my shoot but it got cancelled. So, I had 10-15 days on my hands and Forrest Gump was on my mind. I had not seen this film in a long time, so I thought I should watch it again.”
