I think the perspective that small-town directors bring to films is very different.

Films are like oxygen for me.

I'm a huge Coppola fan. But more of 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Conversation.' 'The Godfather' for me is, like, number three or four on the list.

Indian films have this obsession with hygienic clean spaces, even though the country's not so clean. They're either shot in the studios or shot in London, in America, in Switzerland - clean places. Everywhere except India.

I do not make movies to send any message, but my treatment makes my viewers think on the subject.

I love Back Stage. I have lots of theater friends and actors who depend on Back Stage.

I am a straight talker. I am not politically correct or diplomatic.
