At the core, I'm a filmmaker and a storyteller.
Shaji Kailas is an amazing director.
Anything you can imagine, you can put on film.
When I became a film-maker, all my favourite films, they weren't comedies.
The truth of the matter is, I'm a filmmaker.
I'm a fool for a brilliant filmmaker. And for someone who wants to try new things.
A film adaptation is, I hope, the director's version. A new creation.
There were movies that always made me want to be a director. You see brilliant scenes and the way the emotions were handled. I thought, I'd really like to do that.
Make movies that you want to go and watch in a theatre.
I've written not milestones of cinema but millstones.
Whereas with Sirk, everything is always filmed. No matter what the script, he's always a real director.
Some directors are like poets.
The purpose of making a successful film is to blend entertainment with social content.
To me the recognition of the audience is part of the filmmaking process. When you make a movie, it's for them.
