Rocky (1976): “..I ask film investors, are you ready to lose your money?..”

Devdas (2002): “..I actually never was a fan of Shah Rukh Khan..”
“I actually never was a fan of Devdas (2002) actor Shah Rukh Khan, which is a film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. But in 2002 I was forced by my cousin. . .
Tumbbad (2018): “..with greed, nobody really wins in the end..”
