Parallel cinema has not made an effort to communicate in a language the other person understands.
From Om Puri
I have been in the film industry for 35 years, and everyone, including the spot-boys, will vouch for my character.
I don't spend on expensive brands. I don't need foreign holidays.
In western countries, there are roles written for older actors. Films are made on them, including love stories.
We have filmmakers who make films with some kind of responsibility and take cinema seriously like Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani, Prakash Jha. But now these people also take stars... Without stars they cannot work.
Fat noses have no place in the Hindi film industry. But it is not so in the West - otherwise, Anthony Quinn would have never been an actor.
As a young man, I was very introverted and quiet, but with a lot of intensity and feelings.
Meeting Helen Mirren was a fabulous experience. I had played it out in my mind, how I should greet her when we would be introduced. But the way we met was funny because I just didn't recognise her!
I feel even old people can do a nice love story, but here we don't make that kind of films. In the West, such films are being made and they make a nice romance, which is more like compassion.
Every person wants to stretch himself and widen his audience. Since Hollywood has got more exposure and is shown all over the world, it's obvious that every actor would want to do an English film and explore himself.
