Not exactly but I get inspiration from stories which are unconventional.
If you make a feelgood film which is complete candyfloss, where everybody is good and everything is beautiful and hunky dory, it won't appeal to the audience.
I have lot of respect of filmmakers who work in Telugu and Tamil.
But it is not conscious strategy to go for unconventional roles.
Everyone starts a film thinking that it would be a big hit. But sometimes it goes haywire.
In India I've been to all the award functions, but that was in Hindi; now it's in English so it's a much bigger scale.
