It is one of the most satisfying experiences ever in my rather long career. From the care taken by FOUR LIONS to the near familial bonding between all of us, all have fallen in place so well. One thing is for sure, whenever IMLIE ends (which I hope it never does) there are going to be a lot of tears flowing, both sad and happy.”
