Box office figures are not something that can decide the success of a film on its own, but they are one of the many yardsticks that help me measure how well a film has been received.

When I was new, I didn't know where my career will go. Initially, my films were not even successful, but then I learned a lot from my mistakes.

If a film has a social message, it is very important for me to know what the message is and how it's going to be delivered, but it's not something I look for all the time.

I am raising my voice as a citizen of the country. I don?t want to enter politics.

I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success.

Indian film awards lack credibility.

If a script has that affect on me during a reading, then it is definitely a film I want to be part of.
