You don't say no to a Shankar film.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Working with Shankar is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I know Pandit Ravi Shankar was very upset with me, as I did not use his compositions in 'Gandhi.' I thought that the London Philharmonic Orchestra would prove more effective than his music. It was one of my biggest miscalculations.
I don't think you can force a moral opinion or you can force something through a Bollywood film.
I don't approach films purely in context of genre.
Western films don't do very well in India.
Don't get me wrong: I would not say no to an Oscar!
A lot of people in India are not that into non-Indian films or Western films.
The studio should not have released this film.
Music is a very integral part of the film, but it will not be as full of music as a Bollywood film.
I don't want to be a part of any Bollywood movie.
