Mumbai, Aug 5: Bollywood director Milan Luthria, who has worked on three projects with producer Ekta Kapoor, says it is because they give each other creative space and respect each other's opinion that their professional camaraderie is as wonderful as it is.
Luthria's past directorials - "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai" and "The Dirty Picture" - were produced under Ekta's home banner Balaji Motion Pictures. His next project "Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!" too is produced by her.
"We have made three films together and we could not have done that if we didn't get along. But we are also very strong-minded people, and are extremely possessive about our work and volatile sometimes. But we have learnt to give each other space and respect each other's talent, hard work and commitment," Luthria told IANS.
He said they bring out the best in each other.
