I have never seen a film being as influenced by the incidents during its making as Highway. The adventures of our north Indian road journey has many stories to tell
My father did irrigation jobs, and I would sometimes accompany him, and that gave me a taste of what was going on in the innards of India.
On the contrary Deepika feels inferior to other people I was surprised when I realised it. She is straightforward & very giving
I myself got married at a very young age. It has always intrigued me because marriage is very synthetic in an otherwise natural world.
Anything I wanted to do and achieve has not been influential in my life, but my failures have.
I'm not the 'look at me' kind of a person. I do not like showing off in public or written about.
When you write a story, it just flows and you don't control it. It's subconscious.
I want to direct what I feel is interesting - not what is supposed to be my zone.
I think 'Rockstar' is more dear to me than any of my other films.
I feel whatever an actor does on screen is something the actor 'does,' and what the director can do is to tell, talk or instruct. So, all the credit for an actor's performance goes to the actor alone.
I think I am a travel junkie, and I have never enjoyed anything else in my life more than travelling and going to places.
