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.

Cinema is much more than heroes and villains.

I shoot reality-based movies, and in actual locations, shooting them with a star is next to impossible.

The quality of mainstream cinema has changed. A lot of independent voices feel they can leave everything behind and make independent films.

'Aiyyaa' is a very quirky film.

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'm very emotional and possessive about all my films.
