I'm happy I'm doing films at a slow pace rather than doing anything and everything.
I was averaging about one movie a year my whole career, and that was because I'm fussy. I probably could have done more.
I don't like to shoot too many movies since I like to do them well.
I could have signed 10 films after 'Jai Ho,' but those films would have done nothing for me. I wanted to wait for the right project.
I don't believe in doing 20 films a years and being on number one, number five or anything that kind.
I waited for each film to become important for me. If I had no ideas for a film, I didn't do a film. So I made not that many films for fifty-four years of working.
When you ask me why I do one film a year, it is not my fault. I've chosen what I liked from whatever work came my way.
I don't even watch many huge films. I don't go to the cinema every weekend. I watch selective cinema and want to make my kind of films.
I started the trend of doing only one film at a time.
Naga Chaitanya selects only those movies which suit him, just like his father.
I only do few films, so when one comes out, it is a big deal for me.
I am thankful for the fact that the audience doesn't expect common, run-of-the-mill films from me. But the fact of the matter is that if the subject doesn't hit me hard enough, I will not do it.
I am keen to do quality films; it is not quantity that I am looking at.
I'm lucky if I find one movie a year that's worth doing, and when I do find one, it usually only takes 20-30 days to shoot.
It is not that I don't want to sign films, but I don't want to accept any film coming my way.
I would definitely love to do Hindi films but I'll choose films carefully.
I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.
