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.

The West sometimes doesn't understand Bollywood, but they can definitely understand how Bollywood influences people.

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

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

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

Entertainment's definition has been reduced to making people happy.

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.
