“If 'Bhoot' was called 'Man Ke Rishte,' no one would be interested. The title is a very essential part of a film. It subconsciously prepares the audience as to what they can expect.”
“Any film, whether it worked at the box office or not, I'll have my favourite moments from it.”
“My journey to Sridevi started when I was preparing for my debut film 'Shiva.' I used to walk from Nagarjuna's office in Chennai to a neighbouring street where Sridevi used to live, and I used to just stand and watch Sridevi's house from outside her gate.”
“Our society has a mentality that elderly people pass on their wealth to their son or immediate relatives, and I think we all do it. It's a part of nature and is an exaggerated topic.”
“'Bhoot' is a hold-on-to-your-seats horror film, while 'Darna Manaa Hai' is a hold-on-to-your-popcorn horror film.”
“Today, filmmaking isn't just about shooting and releasing. You've to structure the marketing of a film.”
“The reason I make more films is that I work all the time without taking a break, and I enjoy it.”
“The people who work with me know how focused I am, and so I would advise people who are not concerned with me to rather focus on themselves instead of focusing on my focus.”
“Great films happen, and no one can make them on intention.”
“'Naach' doesn't have any of the traditional, conventional ingredients of a love story.”
“In Telugu, I have 'Bejawada Rowdilu,' a movie on the gang war culture in Vijayawada.”
“Fundamentally speaking, bodies age; feelings don't.”
“I have become a full-fledged producer. I spend a lot of time on pre-production work.”
“The whole idea of making 'James' was to make an action film in the style of the 1970s and '80s.”
“The point is that a filmmaker is like a journalist in projecting reality in the true sense of the word. Only thing is he dramatically packages it to make more effect.”
“Stars work because of familiarity. They fill theatres because audiences know who they are. There is a brand equity. But there are films strong enough to not need stars, or films that should not be made with stars at all, where only fresh faces will do. So I make the decisions accordingly.”
“I hate it that there are so many beautiful women in the world, and I can't have all of them for myself.”
“Any film I make, my intention is always to make people like it.”
“I would say that if a man like Balasaheb Thackeray can exist, 'Sarkar' can exist.”
“I feel that Sarkar is a realistic superman in his life.”
