You are likely to make more mistakes with a light-hearted film than a serious one.
I don't think I take risks. People think I do, but I don't. In fact, I think conventional-formula filmmakers take more risks than me.
Everything in 'Satya' was by chance. It was a film which just started evolving by itself. I just went mostly by instinct and kept on improvising on location, and the film just got made itself.
I have always put the same effort in all my films irrespective of their outcome.
Since everyone has a mouth, everyone will have an opinion.
The people who work with me know how focused I am, and so I would advise people who are not concerned with me to rather focus on themselves instead of focusing on my focus.
I make movies on the subjects that excite me.
I make movies on gritty topics like crime, the underworld, and horror. I don't make movies with good-looking people in good-looking locales.
I sometimes think many reviewers write the reviews of my films even before they see them.
Now a lot of people tell me that 'Daud' was ahead of its times. But when it came out, it was panned more than any of my films.
The reason I make more films is that I work all the time without taking a break, and I enjoy it.
My driver shops for me; he selects my clothes. That is why my driver and I wear the same clothes.
Films are all I know. I wouldn't know what to do with a day off.
A film sells feelings.
Films like 'Satya,' 'Company' needed a pan-Indian audience. The affinity for Hindi film and subjects was there.
I think a lot before tweeting. I show it like I don't, but I do. Sometimes I don't mean it, sometimes I mean it, and sometimes I like to provoke a reaction from people. I enjoy reactions from them.
I don't think I have the patience required to undertake projects as huge as 'Baahubali.' You need to spend a lot of time and years to make something empowering like that.
As a director and a creative person, I can say banning anything is wrong.
Romantic films are not a genre I would choose.
