Vijay Krishna Acharya

“My first film was more of a light-hearted chor-police drama. 'Dhoom 2' focused more on the love story of two unconventional people. 'Dhoom 3' too is different, I hope.”

“My life has been a series of slightly happy accidents.”

“Success and failure are a part of filmmaking.”

“Thugs Of Hindostan' involved a lot of prep to be able to make the character look effortless.”

“I don't want to make films that are constantly pleasing the audience, it is not my tradition.”

“Tashan' is not for the lily-livered.”

“I'm a hardcore reality lover. I love characters that people can relate with and yet a tinge of grey shade.”

“Godfather' is based on a book and it is one of the best films.”
