Cinema Paradiso, because it reminds me of why I make movies, the magic of movies, the romance of movies.

'Srimanthudu' is a film very close to my heart. It's my first production, and I'm more than happy with its performance at the box office.

That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.

I love cinema.

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.

'Blade Runner' is one of my favorite films.

I love the work of Hayao Miyazaki. 'My Neighbor Totoro' and 'Castle in the Sky' are two of the great films that he's made that I just love.

I think 'Paranorman' was a great adventure.

A film that I love is 'Deliverance' from back in the day. You start out with these archetypal characters - the hero, the bookworm, the pacifist - and by the end, it's all turned upside down. I love that.

My favourite film is 'Le Diner de Cons,' a French movie.
