If you are going to be dogged with doubts you shouldn't be making movies.
I had taken a bit of a sabbatical because I was producing and directing films. But acting has always been my passion and it is something that I will continue to do.
Generally, the biopics are made on the personalities about whom much is not known. But if someone who is already popular and everyone knows about his life then I don't see a point in making a biopic on his life unless you are telling something new about that person.
You just can't put a '3' after the title of the film. If you have a franchise that has worked, it does not mean that you can go on making it.
Salman doesn't even know half the time what I'm working on. Sometimes, he only gets to know about a film of mine when the release date is close. We don't sit down and discuss our professional lives with each other.
Everyone knows we are thick as thieves. We're very close and we respect each other. Of course, Salman has achieved far more, and we're really happy with that. As long as we keep doing whatever we like, it doesn't bother us.
I spoke to my father about making a documentary on him. I have been seriously contemplating that.
If I want to say anything about my life, I will say it when the time comes, be it about marriage or whatever.
A new couple does a lot of things for each other. And slowly they lose interest and it affects the relationship. It is a part of life and a lot of people experience this.
Of course I would recommend marriage to others. Times are changing, even in the past people had kids without getting married but marriage gives stability to your family and people around you. It's a working institution and it can fail in certain situations.
I don't want everyone to know when I go out with my son or my girlfriend for lunch or dinner.
I am very friendly and affable.
Ultimately, we stars are human being at the end of the day. We also have bad habits, weaknesses, we also make mistakes.
Due to my serious kind of roles, people - apart from my close friends and family - did not know the real me.
As a director, you realise the bigger picture.
I am content, ambitious and equally know the need to switch off from work. My world is big enough to go beyond movies too.
When you achieve something or someone, you don't want to lose the person. I love Malaika but I'm possessive about her.
I think with time you don't have an option but to listen to your wife.
I started my production house with the idea of directing one day.
If 'Dabangg' starts looking like the 'Golmaal' or 'Dhoom' franchises, then people wouldn't be able to connect with it.
