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.

If you get validation from outside, then suddenly everything you do at home is justified.

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.

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

Conventional Indian cinema is about people falling in love. They sing, they dance.

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

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