Versatile director Priyadarshan, in a recent interview to a national daily, has said that he is a fan of two actors - Amitabh Bachchan and Farokh Engineer. He, however, pointed out that no one can beat Mohanlal when it comes to versatility.

The director has, probably, for this reason worked with Mohanlal in 27 films thus far.

He is now directing Aakrosh, a Hindi film which has Ajay Devgn and Akshay Khanna in the lead. This is first Hindi film with an original script., i.e., not adapted from his Malayalam film.
