Sanjay Dutt on working with Sridevi back in the 90s. "I need to establish a proper rapport with all my co-stars, it may be Madhuri or Sridevi. For instance, during the first few days of Gumrah I wasn't comfortable, because you know how Sridevi is. She is aloof and I had to get talking to her..."

The Indian community in Hong Kong is less than 40,000 people but when news spread that the biggest stars of Bollywood were in town, the cast of Gumrah - Sridevi and Sunjay Dutt - everyone tried their best to see/meet them. Not many succeeded as it was a closed set - and it became a game of cat and mouse as the crew shot in remote places. 

What incredible performances both stars gave. Rare stills from the film shot in Hong Kong back in the early 90s.
