Director Anand L. Rai is basking in the success of his latest love saga "Raanjhanaa", but he has confessesed he is already missing working with actors Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor. He hopes to work with them again.

"For me, my actors never remain actors. I develop a personal bonding with them and I miss them," Anand said here in an interview.

"Raanjhanaa" marked Dhanush's Bollywood debut. It also features Abhay Deol, Swara Bhaskar and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, besides Sonam.

During the shooting of the film, Rai developed a good rapport with the cast.

"After I completed this film, I felt a kind of edginess inside me. I was like, 'After two months Zeeshan (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) will be shooting somewhere else, Dhanush will be shooting somewhere and so will Sonam and Swara'... So I become a bit edgy," he added.

 

Meanwhile, on being asked about working with Dhanush and Sonam again, Rai said: "I'm a bit over-possessive about my actors. So to fulfil that, I have an option that I work with them again."

Released June 21, "Raanjhanaa" opened to great reviews and is doing well at the box-office.
