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

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.

It was only in the early 1990s - during my student years as an aspiring scientist at Delhi University - that I discovered the world of cinema.

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 didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.

Cinema is much more than heroes and villains.
