Quote

You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in.

A film's success or failure is strictly on the director's shoulders.

If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.

On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.

I am a film buff.

But, in each case, as a filmmaker who's been given sizable budgets with which to work, I feel a responsibility to the audience to be shooting with the absolute highest quality technology that I can and make the film in a way that I want.

You don't have to do offbeat films to prove that you can act. I have done it but only to prove myself that I can fit convincingly into every kind of films. I want to do the 100 crore film where the hero does all the work, and I get to relax.

I always believed that you can make challenging films, but they should be fiscally responsible.

In film work, you do the best you can under the given circumstances, but you don't have control. At least, I don't.
