Light-hearted films are not content-driven films.
Generally, I feel I'm cast aside because of the kind of movies that I make.
People don't want to always see a comedy or an action film. If the film in a particular genre is made well, then it will see its share of success.
In terms of level of difficulty, it would go comedy, thriller, and then romantic drama.
Really I'm a fan of any movie, whether it's suspense, action, or comedy - anything that has a good story.
'Mission: Impossible' is basically entertainment, and for what it is, it's fine. I don't think most actors become actors to do that type of film.
I never really did a western western.
Every actor has to deal with what's on his plate, and I try to deal with doing the best work possible with the most challenging scripts. I don't base it on whether it's a feature film or a TV-movie or cable.
In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.
I can't say that I wouldn't prefer to make small films, basically because I think they are probably more interesting in terms of the material. But every now and again, it's quite good to do a big one.
When I became a film-maker, all my favourite films, they weren't comedies.
The Oscar for the films, it'd be nice. But I don't make those kind of films, and I don't think that will ever happen.
To make a documentary is one thing, to make a feature film is quite another.
'Zero Dark Thirty' raised the stakes. It raised the stakes in cinema, man. I don't think people really know how to grasp what type of film this is.
I love good film, whether it's an independent or studio film. The independent films, I think the good ones aren't necessarily eccentric ones but they're the more specific ones.
I love song-and-dance films.
As far as the type of movies I am offered is concerned, it's a mix. I have been offered both period films and the regular fare.
I've never done a big studio film, I've only ever done little ones.
I don't see myself making comedies always.
Sundance is like a genre.
I've always been really into action movies. Since I was little, that was my favorite type of film.
I would love to do anything from a really gritty, interesting, indie type film, to that commercial, bigger stuff.
I don't have a horror film in me just because I don't like to be scared. But I definitely have a documentary in me, and I certainly have dramas.
I have done 'Mumbai Meri Jaan,' 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!;' they are not comedy. But those roles didn't stick with people. Comedy films run, even though some of them are bad films. So people see these more.
I've got a reputation for doing a certain type of film: lads' movies that glamorise violence. The more my reputation as a bad boy grows, the more my life moves away from that.
