I like working with a first time director. I'm more likely to work with a first time director than I am a second time director.
We don't want people working in fast-food stands. We want them back in the steel mills.
I never felt fanboyish about acting, about actors, about movies. I'm a fanboy with music.
You know, it's kind of a shame in a way but the more seasoned directors a lot of times have more difficult getting a job than first time guys. New kid on the block kind of thing.
I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.
I would love to do better in mainstream Hindi films, but one thing I must say is that my best experience so far has been in the Punjabi film industry, where I've been around for more than 11 years.
I agree that when you sing for Bollywood, the reach is bigger. But I don't want to concentrate on any industry in particular.
As far as I am getting interesting projects to work in, it doesn't matter whether it's Bollywood, South or Gujarati. The script is the hero for me.
I've always wanted to work in the Malayalam industry.
I can't pick one film industry over another because work is work. Actresses are targeted when say prefer one industry over another.
I don't even miss Bollywood because I was getting to do some amazing work in the regional industry.
I usually prefer casting actors from our own industry.
