I think a film should have a gestation period of at least two or three years.

They suggested I should introduce an element of reincarnation in the story. At first, I thought that was silly. But then, this whole time dimension began to fascinate me.

I don't really say much about reviewers. It's a very tough job to get all of the depth of a movie all at once.

Music is a very integral part of the film, but it will not be as full of music as a Bollywood film.

The history of the white man in India really jumped up and bit me in the neck.

I've never wanted to do something where I'd berate the audience.

Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family.
