audience cent core films hard loves nine per remaining seven woo
Seven out of my nine films were hits. 80 per cent of the audience loves my films; the remaining 20 per may be right in their opinion, but that doesn't make me wrong. If I try too hard to woo them, I'd be cheating my core audience.
brought changed disgrace shame visit whenever
We are seeing a changed Mumbai, but having showcased Dharavi in 'Slum Dog Millionaire' brought shame and disgrace to our city. Whenever the firangs visit Mumbai, they must visit Dharavi; it has become a sightseeing spot. However, I feel saddened about it.
director human minus plus points
If you know where you stand, and your minus and plus points as a director or as a human being, you will never go wrong. You will always be successful.
avenues blowing cross films hindi opened proud realised
My detractors are only accusing me of blowing up cars. What they have not realised is that my films have the potential to cross language barriers. New avenues have opened for Hindi films, and I'm proud and happy about it.
beauty both childhood dad ladies met took
Hema Malini and Nutan were my childhood crushes! I met Hemaji once when dad took me to the set of a film. Both these ladies stole my heart with their beauty and grace.
audience biggest critically gave hits people respect wants
'Singham' was one-and-a-half stars all over, and it was one of the biggest hits of my career. It gave me so much respect. People think if it's not critically acclaimed, you won't get respect. But that's not true. Even if you get one star, your film will do well if the audience wants to see it.
assistant connect director holidays life lose might run success top
I don't go for holidays or celebrate my success because I know nothing is permanent. I don't let it get to me - like I am India's top director with too many hits. If that happens, I might lose the connect with my audience. The day I go wrong, they will run away from me. I want to be like an assistant director all my life.
becomes films learnt move switch
Obviously, I'm very happy when one of my films becomes a blockbuster. However, after a point, I want to switch off. I have learnt to just move on. Too much pressure can make you wrong.
directing given love talented
I love writing. Given a choice, after directing for all these years, and if given an army of talented directors, I would not direct at all.
time watch
I remember a time when I was younger, when if you had to see an actor, you had to go to the theatre and watch a film.
films god wonder
My grandfather made films on God, I make it on the devil, so, I wonder what he would say if he was alive. He'd probably disown me.
six three film
All my films have been criticised, but here I stand with six superhits and three 100-crore films!
