She further added that the film's script demanded new faces and that no stars are making any special appearances in the movie.u00a0"We just felt that it was not required and getting some established stars would not justify the film. The film demanded fresh faces."u00a0

"Established stars are not doing any special appearance in the film. Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt are involved behind the cameras.u00a0They were involved in guiding me. Salman had come for the music launch, Sanjay invited us for his show SFL (Super Fight League). Ajay is always there guiding me behind the cameras," she said.

Amita had earlier produced Ajay and Konkona Sen Sharma starrer 'Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?' and the film had done a good business at the box office, but she says her priority has always been acting.

"I am very clear about one thing - if I am producing a film, then I am not acting in it. I don't know about future, but right now I want to focus only on acting. Acting is what I always wanted to do. Production is my family business and I will take it forward in future," she added.
