“'Baaghi 2' opened in less than 5,000 screens and its ticket prices were also not high, as it's not a festival season release. Yet, it has made the kind of money that has shocked the trade.”
“I don't want to lose an opportunity to tell an interesting story.”
“I am looking neither backward nor ahead. I am not thinking of what Salman has done earlier and what is the competition for my film. I am only focusing on getting it right in 'Kick.'”
“I love to watch entertaining films with larger than life characters and hence enjoy making such kind of movies.”
“Salman is the reason because of whom I turned a director.”
“'Housefull' is just a 40-45 crores film. It was never an expensive film to begin with.”
“I go by my instinct in selecting scripts for my banner. Some times it works and some times it does not.”
“I love writing and making films. What started as a hobby ultimately turned into my profession.”
“Festive seasons are good for releases, but we have to leave some festival dates for other producers to release their films as well. We cannot take away all the holiday releases.”
“Star power opened 'Mission Mangal.'”
“You become big only when you have great stories to tell.”
“Many might feel that I am very traditional in my approach, but I feel that the most important thing is to have the blessings of your parents. That's very important. Plus, be ready for consistent hard work, despite the inevitable ups and downs in this field.”
“The song 'Jumme ki Raat' is a treat for all the fans of Salman. It is shot in the underground style on a very big scale. We have tried to give it the edgy and grungy feel.”
“All I know is that Salman has signed 80 percent of my films without reading the script, and almost all our films have done well.”
“All my films have been larger-than-life. And since I've sat on almost all the scripts of the films I've produced, I do not compromise on aesthetics and visuals that could add to a scene.”
“My pride is the length of time I have worked in the industry without any major controversy.”
“Sometimes, I forget that I am director.”
“I worked with Salman even when he was not doing so well, so now that he is successful, people think I have an agenda.”
“How were we to know 'Highway' would be such a success? It is one of my proudest achievements.”
“The super success of '3 Idiots' has taught us that cost of making a film is not important at all; it's all about things going well at the script level.”
