I'm not the 'look at me' kind of a person. I do not like showing off in public or written about.
I just write characters, and somehow they happen to be a boy and a girl. When the story is put together, and their characters interwoven, they do end up together somehow.
Through travel, you discover a new aspect to your personality. You discover things which you wouldn't seated in the confines of your home.
The physical journey in my films is indicative of the internal journey that my characters take.
I myself got married at a very young age. It has always intrigued me because marriage is very synthetic in an otherwise natural world.
I have always tried to make profitable films because people's offices shut down if films fail, and I will do everything to avoid that.
I'm not educated about cinema or genres.
The film industry has been extremely welcoming to me. It's an industry which is biased to what they think is talent. If they think you can bring value to cinema, they'll support you.
I want all my films to look distinctly different, like some other directors I admire. But in a way, I can't really take myself completely out of the movies I make.
I enjoy scenes in films, which do not have the pressure of the story so much... and it flows. I've tried to go in that direction.
My job is to tell a story, and the decisions about the casting have to be honest.
The story of 'Highway' is completely about travel. It is about the fascination of travel to an extent that I don't want to even reach the destination and also being away from society gives you a certain view of the society, so that was the intention of the film.
Usually, you lose interest in a story beyond a certain point. But with 'Highway,' there was something very subtle, yet something very influential. I intended 'Highway' to be the first film that I ever made. Didn't happen.
Sometimes I don't know whether a movie has been shot on film or in digital when I watch it in the theatres.
If a person wants to enjoy attention, he will create situations to get it.
I used to love Kapil Dev and, like any schoolboy, wanted to become a cricketer till I started dreaming of making movies.
Expenditure can't really guarantee a great experience. I don't even like shopping; I've never bought stuff for myself, and everything I wear are gifts from my brothers, friends and people.
