"I would have preferred PIRATES over THE TRAIN" - Raksha Mistry
Known for not mincing any words and speaking her heart and mind out, Raksha Mistry, co-director of THE TRAIN has a shocking, yet hilarious statement to make. She says that if THE TRAIN would have released on the same day as PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN - AT WORLD'S END, she would have preferred to stand in queue for the latter. Laughs Raksha, "Seriously, don't think that I am kidding! Such has been the craze of PIRATES series for me that I can't miss it for anything in the world, even if it means putting my own film at the second position!" But why? "It's simple. Johny Depp is a darling and it is impossible to swap him for anything else.
