years world cinema
It was only in the early 1990s - during my student years as an aspiring scientist at Delhi University - that I discovered the world of cinema.
want film
I want my films to be seen everywhere.
emotional film possessive
I'm very emotional and possessive about all my films.
impact mind pages
One must go for a film with an open mind; a film best impacts you when your mind is a blank page to the film.
want pressure kind
Studios never put pressure. They know the kind of films I want to make.
quirky film
'Aiyyaa' is a very quirky film.
thinking cinema bollywood
There is more to Indian cinema than just Bollywood. I think regional cinema, especially Tamil and Marathi cinema, are exploring some really bold themes.
madly-in-love dynamite best-things
Kalki is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am madly in love with her.
years healthy cinema
For me, any kind of thing that has stood for 100 years tells me of the health of that thing. So, cinema completing a hundred years in India just says that it is very healthy.
wall cutting paper
I used to spend a lot of time cutting out film posters from papers and putting them up on the wall in my room.
thinking perspective towns
I think the perspective that small-town directors bring to films is very different.
pseudo hollywood looking-good
All those pseudo-Hollywood movies set nowhere, with everybody good looking and having great physique - that's not working any more.
firsts bombay velvet
'Bombay Velvet' is my first film in a trilogy about Bombay, before it became a metropolis.
birth-place india cinema
Chennai is the birthplace of a new language in cinema. The audiences here are the most evolved moviegoers to be found anywhere in India.
