Homi has directed three films till date and he says he does not believe that big names need to be dealt with in a special way.
"I don't understand the logic of being a fan of an actor! I treat them all the same way. Be it Arjun or Naseeruddin- they were treated equally. I have shot in such a tiny place once that Deepika had to give me the props instead of calling the spot boys," Homi said.
'Finding Fanny' also stars Dimple Kapadia and it hit theatres today.
The 'Being Cyrus' and 'Cocktail' helmer also shared some interesting facts about the star-cast of 'Finding Fanny' like Deepika's fear of snakes and Pankaj Kapur's phobia for water.
"If Deepika hears the word snake, she gets very scared. Once we were shooting in a huge ground and my crew spotted 5-6 snake skins and I was so tense because if Deepika would see that she would never shoot there," Homi said.
