Uday Chopra

“Years ago, when I was in school, I used to like a girl. But I didn't know if she liked me since I was something of a geek too. So, my feelings remained locked inside my heart.”

“See, Padam Kumar thinks and talks in Tamil and English. So for him, the words in 'Supari' were less important than how they were spoken.”

“Yeah, I'm more interested in my iphone, MacBook and gadgets than hot girls.”

“I had grown up watching Amitabh Bachchan act. And here I was exchanging dialogues with him. For me, that was a great moment.”

“It might be a slow process reaching to the top but I am patient. I don't want to get into something that I am not completely convinced about.”

“Padam Kumar gives the impression that he is very strict and firm man. But the fact is, that he is focused in his work.”

“After 'Mohabbatein', I had many offers and I met many people but I am always searching for that one script which would take me that one step ahead.”

“If a film is good, it will do well irrespective of the timing. Period.”

“Everyone, mostly in his or her school or college days, falls for someone unachievable, whom they can't express their feelings to. It happened with me as well.”

“When people pray to ask for things they want, isn't it basically an act of mistrust in their god. For if god already has a plan in mind for you, why are you praying to change the plan in the first place?”

“Since Nandita Das comes from a different school of acting, I had to behave in a particular manner. Then with the boys - Rahul Dev, Purab Kohli and Akaash Saigal - it was another ball game.”

“I am an old fashioned guy. I want to first stand on my two feet and then start thinking about settling down. At the moment no marriage plans.”

“Having grown up watching my father direct films and having worked with him and my brother, I know how films are made, how shots are taken.”

“I went to Los Angeles and enrolled in a production course at the University of California, Los Angeles. In the morning I attended industry meetings and in the evening, I would go for the course.”

“As a non believer I don't get the idea of asking god for things via prayer.”

“I am ambitious to do more than what has been offered me. I want to be the best in whatever career I choose and I don't think I can get there as an actor.”

“Personally when I listen to a script, I think from the audience's point of view. I would ask myself whether they would like to see me in this role?”

“There were no bizarre action sequences so to say but I broke my foot while shooting. It is a superstition where they say if an actor breaks a foot or injures himself during the shoot then the film goes on to become a hit. So let's just say this time I take the credit for the success of 'Dhoom 3'.”

“I don't want to be a nobody in a film. It's okay if it is not a lead character, but it should be a central character and it should make an impact.”

“Direction is not an easy job.”
