On the 15th anniversary of "Aks" on Wednesday, filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra said it feels the movie's release happened just yesterday.

The "Rang De Basanti" director also shared that he feels blessed for making a debut with "such amazing" talent.

"'Aks' Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Bajpayee, Raveena Tandon, Nandita Das it was a blessing that I debuted with such amazing talent led by the eternal AB," he added.

On the work front, Mehra is currently waiting for the release of his upcoming film "Mirzya", which marks the debut of actor Anil Kapoor's son Harshvardhan Kapoora and Saiyami Kher.
