“When my career hit rock-bottom in 2007 I decided to take a clean break.”
“Stupidly, in our industry, producers pay precious money to sign stars whom they might not even use in the film. Producers believe stars make hits; actually it is the script that makes a film successful.”
“I always believe that when you're not courageous, you become cunning.”
“Before 'Ghulam,' there was 'Fareb,' which was successful, too. Yes, 'Ghulam' won me recognition. I didn't change in any way. What did change was people's perception of me.”
“I am not what a girl dreams of.”
“I regret hurting my wife and my child and abandoning them. I regret the pain I caused them.”
“You make your own choices. Even extramarital affair, it's your own decision. And you suffer for it and pay for it. That's what 'Ankahee' is all about.”
“My failings are the result of my own inter-personal abilities. I am not a good husband or boyfriend.”
“Everyone is entitled to reach for the stars.”
“If you work with a big director, access to stars becomes easier.”
“The script of 'Shaapit' was such that the leading man couldn't be shown indulging into anything heroic.”
“I never wanted to be an actor. Because when you're an actor, you depend on other people to come to you with scripts. You can't create your own. Unless you are a Raj Kapoor, who was a producer-director.”
“Fight scenes, comedy - all are insignificant to me at a personal level.”
“I don't believe in the institution of marriage anymore. It's redundant; it's an outdated institution. It's like lanterns in a house, you don't use them anymore.”
“If a producer goes to the censor at the last minute, just before the film releases, then he often settles with cuts because he cannot afford to lose any more time.”
“I am the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve.”
“Money is not the only reason why I make horror films.”
“There are so many good actors who just keep waiting for good opportunities.”
“When I saw 'Ankahee,' I was very moved. I felt broken inside.”
“I think acting is boring because you have to sit for a long time. And being a director I am used to running around and being busy on sets. I lack the actor software.”
