I come from a middle class background. I have travelled a lot by trains and have lived in the world. It is a world I cannot get away from; I would not even want to.

I think I am a travel junkie and I have never enjoyed anything else in my life more than travelling and going to places.

Usually, you lose interest in a story beyond a certain point. But with Highway, there was something very subtle, yet something very influential. I intended Highway to be the first film that I ever made. Didnt happen.

My father did irrigation jobs, and I would sometimes accompany him, and that gave me a taste of what was going on in the innards of India.

I try to travel as much as I can... I'm always looking for a reason to.

On the contrary Deepika feels inferior to other people I was surprised when I realised it. She is straightforward & very giving

The story of 'Highway' is completely about travel. It is about the fascination of travel to an extent that I don't want to even reach the destination and also being away from society gives you a certain view of the society, so that was the intention of the film.
