Abhishek Bachchan Quotes

I think as a filmmaker one should make all kinds of films. It is not that one should make only one kind of film. I love to see romantic films; I loved watching 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,' 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.' If I make such films, I will make it with my yardstick, according to my parameters.

Every show I've ever, you know, produced, essentially it's the show I want to watch myself.

If my fans only want me to do a certain kind of films, then 'Naanaku Prematho' would have failed miserably. They've entrusted me with the freedom to select good and different scripts.

I like to mix it up, yeah. I don't sort of think, 'Oh, I need to do a comedy, I've done three dramas this year.'

I've always wanted to do non-comedies. I've always done dramas, comedies, music, and I always like to bop around and do different things.

I think films are bigger than structure.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

All these directors, and I would include the Coen brothers and Quentin, have a very unique vision of what they want. They listen to ideas and make people feel like everyone is making the film.

It's very important to not repeat yourself. After 'Delhi Belly,' I was offered 40 'Delhi Belly's and you can't do that! So 'Revolver Rani' is dark and gritty with action, 'Sooper Se Oopar' is a big commercial love story, 'Santa Banta' is a 'theth' Punjabi comedy, 'Golu Aur Pappu' is a kids' film and 'Amit Sahni Ki List' is an urban romcom.

A director shouldn't get in the way of the movie, the story should.

I'm doing the kind of show that I would want to see.

I'm just trying to do all kinds of films.

To record an album and stick to one specific style isn't really my thing.
