I guess short films have a bright future... The advantage is budget.

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

Cinema is an art form.

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

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.

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

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