Mumbai, Dec 3 (IANS): Ananya Pandey has expressed her desire to work with maverick filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and said that she has to be in his “last film”. The Bollywood actress also said that she wants to work with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali in India.

Ananya attended the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah. During an interview with Deadline, she said it was filmmaker Karan Johar’s work that influenced her to become an actor. The video of her interview is on Reddit.

Dressed in an all red ensemble, Ananya was heard saying that 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' and 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' influenced her to become an actor.
