Priyamani Quotes

I think the success of a film is very important to an actor. It depends on how many people go to watch your movies; the more the merrier. Nobody wants to do a film for five people. You work so hard that millions of people watch the movie; this is directly related to box office success.

You know, it's not the people in Hollywood who go to see movies that will make a movie successful; it's the people all around the country; it's word-of-mouth.

The effort always remains that my new film outdoes my last in terms of performance and gets better box office success. Box office is the sole reason why I do films.

I want every movie to have a big audience. I'm always hopeful that it's going to be discovered, and audiences are fantastic that way because every once in a while they surprise you. I didn't think 'Beautiful Mind' was going to be that kind of global success.

Whenever we actors become part of a Bollywood film, there is a certain pressure of earning a box office success.

Stupidly, in our industry, producers pay precious money to sign stars whom they might not even use in the film. Producers believe stars make hits; actually it is the script that makes a film successful.

2008 was a good year as 'Gaja' was a hit.

Ninety per cent of my movies were hits.

Frankly speaking, during the making of 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety,' we never realised that the movie is going to be such a hit and that it will change our lives so much. There have been movies which have done really well at the box office, but rarely do we have movies where actors get so much love and adulation from their fans.

Luckily, the films I did in Kannada were successful.

It is really cool to have created a movie that has turned out to become the biggest movie of the year.

All my films have been criticised, but here I stand with six superhits and three 100-crore films!

You never do a movie and not want it to work. You accept whatever it is. You have to, but nobody in their right mind would not want the movie to be getting talked about at the end of the year.

I have been in a lot of movies, but none of them are critics' darlings, you might say.

You put a movie star or a bunch of movie stars in a movie, it doesn't mean people are gonna go see it. It's been proven time and time again.

The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well, after a while you don't get to make any more movies.

I want people to see my name on a movie, pay money and know they're going to be entertained for 90 minutes.

The many many imponderables come together when a film opens and for all sorts of reasons it may or may not succeed.

Everybody loves a hit. There is nothing as fun as making a cultural splash with a movie.

The success of 'The Fighter' made it a lot easier to get 'Broken City' green-lit. And the buzz about 'The Fighter' also made it a lot easier to get 'Contraband' green-lit.
