I love the Japanese director Shohei Imamura. His masterpiece in 1979 called, the English title was 'Vengeance is Mine.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For many years, my favorite director has been the Japanese giant Akira Kurosawa.
I have one favourite song, and that's 'Aayat' from 'Bajirao Mastani.'
Salim-Sulaiman have always been my favourite. It's just an absolute pleasure working with them, and there's always something new you get to learn just by sitting in their studio and absorbing all that's happening around you.
'Ashes of Time' was my third film, and as a young director at that point, it's not very often that you have the chance to make a big martial arts film, so of course I jumped at this opportunity.
I got nominated for my second film as best young director in the Aikido Film Festival in Japan.
My favorite film is always the one that I most recently worked on.
'Cinema Paradiso' is a fantastic film, I love that.
For any director with a little lucidity, masterpieces are films that come to you by accident.
'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.
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.
