In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy.

To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.

I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.

Comedy comes from confusion.

Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.

Surround yourself with a bunch of like-minded people, and you'll soak up their habits like a starved sponge. Fat people with fat friends care less about their weight.

When it comes to English stand-up comedy, Indians have only seen the best - Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby and the like. So, when someone claims to be an English stand-up comedian in India, he'd better be very good if he's going to make a life of it.
