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.

'Aiyyaa' is a very quirky film.

I do not make movies to send any message, but my treatment makes my viewers think on the subject.

'Bombay Velvet' is my first film in a trilogy about Bombay, before it became a metropolis.

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

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

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