In 'Gangs of Wasseypur,' I wanted to take violence forward and play it up.
It is very good to bridge the gaps between Indian and international cinema.
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.
'Bombay Velvet' is my first film in a trilogy about Bombay, before it became a metropolis.
