In the second half of primary school, I liked live-action shows and giant-monster movies, and then in junior high, I got into regular movies.
I think the only thing that I really haven't done much in, and I haven't felt too attracted to, is romantic comedies.
A lot of people in India are not that into non-Indian films or Western films.
My father is so jolly, and I live a really happy life. I think that's why all my interest in the darker things in films comes up: because I'm curious about things I don't live in.
I've never been interested in action movies. Definitely not interested in sci-fi.
I've been into horror movies ever since I was five years old.
I kinda go for the Jane Eyre type of film. I am fascinated by classics.
I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.
My dream was never necessarily comedy. I really wanted to make film or television and was interested in darker stuff over comedy, but I knew I liked dark comedies.
I used to love those movies, back in the day, like 'A Nightmare on Elm Street,' 'Friday the 13th,' 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'The Shining.' I really liked those kind of movies, and I wanted to be a part of one of those kinds of movies.
I have an older brother and sister, and I'm definitely ahead of my years in terms of sci-fi and films. My brother is a massive sci-fi fan, and the Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver era... I was involved and interested.
I love so many different genres. I love crime films - and unusual coming-of-age pieces.
I don't have any interest in doing superhero franchise movies. I don't connect to the fantastic, and I'm not a comic person - it's just not my thing, so I'm not looking in that direction - but ambitious films on a big scale I'm very interested in looking at.
