“The kind of films that are made depends on the kind of films that are becoming hits. That's why I always say you should be very careful about which film you decide to watch.”

“I have always said that the biggest difference between stage and cinema is that one has got close-ups.”

“I act, produce, and direct. They are three different jobs all within the same realm of creativity. I enjoy all of them equally, but ultimately, I'm an actor.”

“'Aurangzeb' for me is a right film, as there is action and drama.”

“Failure doesn't scare me. And neither success. I am equally detached to both.”

“Though Suparna is a Malayali, she has spent a large part of her life in Mumbai. She's a Mumbai girl. In fact, I saw the real Mumbai through Suparna's eyes. Of course, I knew Mumbai before I got to know Suparna. But it was Suparna who showed me sides to Mumbai I had never seen.”

“All the films that I have signed or I intend to sign are purely on the basis of merit of what the films are about.”

“Something like a 'Maheshinte Prathikaram' will work anywhere in the world because it speaks of something that is beyond language.”

“I never went and searched for a Bollywood film. It just happened naturally... it was a natural course.”

“Directing a film in Hindi is definitely on the cards.”

“Directing Mr. Mohanlal was a delight. He's completely there and wanting to know what you want him to do. He's very keen on making sure the director's vision is realised.”

“I am a humongous Mohanlal fan. I adore the actor. I am also a huge Mammootty fan, and that's not being diplomatic at all.”

“Eleven years in films is a long time.”

“Success comes with a baggage. When you are successful, there is a lot of temptation to not foray outside of your boundaries and just stick to what is successful. It is very tempting because it is very easy to do.”

“I'm sorely disappointed that girls don't recognise me in a normal tee and jeans.”

“I have always believed that when a film is being made, it has to be the director's vision.”

“Even in Malayalam films, I don't mind if I am not cast as hero.”

“We have always wanted to give back to cinema, and we couldn't possibly think of a better way to do that than facilitate films which we believe will make Malayalam cinema proud.”

“Since I'm serious about a career in Hindi films, I'd have relocate to Mumbai.”

“I have always believed that facilitating good, unusual content should be one of my prerogatives as someone who has spent half his life in cinema.”
