A biography for Sanjay Mishrahasn’t been written yet.
“I think whatever amount a producer invests in me... whether it is a huge amount or not, it is a big budget for me because if an artiste can do a stand-alone small-budget film and it goes well, then he can also carry a big-budget film in a good way.”
“I got so involved in 'Ankho'... that I became diabetic and after wrapping this dark film called 'Gwalior,' I was in a shock for over a month.”
“I have always believed that cinema is the best way to reach out to the masses.”
“Earlier, there used to be one newspaper, one radio and TV channel with news once a day but now it is 24 hours. They make anything news.”
“Films like 'Kaamyaab' remind me that I am an actor and they bring me the most satisfaction.”
“The budget of 'Kaamyaab' is lower than the cost of vanity vans parked on the sets of big budget films.”
“If not acting, I could have done art direction, or sound, or camera, or costume for that matter.”
“I used to miss my father so much, I'd keep crying between takes. I'd feel 'Let me call him up and ask something' and remember he's no more.”
“If I was an overrated actor, I would've become an outdated actor.”
“OTT is something that's available in your hands. You don't have to go anywhere to watch any show or film.”
“I don't like to play the same stereotypical father's role of a heroine or hero.”
“I don't want to be a martyr to my career. I want to live my life fully and spend some moments in peace too.”
“Where would a character artist like me get an opportunity like 'Kaamyaab?' I count myself lucky in certain things - I did this and 'Kadvi Hawa.'”
“Films like 'Aankhon Dekhi' and 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' don't have heroism in them. We are breaking this 'heroism' and focusing on story-telling.”
“After doing different kinds of characters, now I feel satisfied.”
“I played cricket and football, walked and cycled a lot.”
“Big films provide easy visibility.”
“Ankhon Dekhi' is a different film for me because I have always done commercial movies.”
“I feel happy that the audience are waiting to watch a movie like 'Masaan' and are accepting off-beat movies.”
“Films come and go.”
