Opening up about films that he wanted to make but could not, Mishra said, "I came in the industry during the toughest of times. 80s was the worst period in cinema. After a while we started accepting that if we write three films, one will get made. I had a film `Mehrunissa` with Mr Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor that never got made.
