Ankita, who was last seen in "Sarbjit", said: "It is so difficult to choose a favourite from the franchise. But if I absolutely had to choose one, it would be the fifth part.

Nambiar, the man behind films like "David", "Shaitan" and "Wazir", calls himself a big fan of the film franchise. The first film came out in 2001.
"I am quite a fan. I like all of them. I think the action in 'Fast 5' was one of the best in the whole series... I think everybody who liked the franchise likes it mainly for the action and car chases," he said.
