One must go for a film with an open mind; a film best impacts you when your mind is a blank page to the film.

For me, any kind of thing that has stood for 100 years tells me of the health of that thing. So, cinema completing a hundred years in India just says that it is very healthy.

Studios never put pressure. They know the kind of films I want to make.

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.

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

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.
