Every film has an origin. It is made under certain circumstances, and that is a very important point that should be kept in mind during a review.

I love travelling, and most scripts have been written while I have been travelling.

There is more to Indian cinema than just Bollywood. I think regional cinema, especially Tamil and Marathi cinema are exploring some really bold themes.

Conventional Indian cinema is about people falling in love. They sing, they dance.

I'm very emotional and possessive about all my films.

I think about my films for a long time, maybe years, but I write them in days.

I used to spend a lot of time cutting out film posters from papers and putting them up on the wall in my room.
