writing thinking years
I think about my films for a long time, maybe years, but I write them in days.
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.
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.
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.
want film
I want my films to be seen everywhere.
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.
stars reality next
I shoot reality-based movies, and in actual locations, shooting them with a star is next to impossible.
scripts has-beens written
I love travelling, and most scripts have been written while I have been travelling.
actors stage theater
I love Back Stage. I have lots of theater friends and actors who depend on Back Stage.
college thinking long-ago
I don't know if I'd ever want to show my college life in the films I make. I think I've passed that stage long ago.
boys boards posters
I didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.
art cinema form
Cinema is an art form.
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.
firsts bombay velvet
'Bombay Velvet' is my first film in a trilogy about Bombay, before it became a metropolis.
