I am a friendly father.

I wanted to be different.

No Entry' is close to my heart.

Janhvi has her own individuality.

I'm not a puppet in anyone's hands.

Nobody is as complete as her, my wife Sri.

I am sure 'Shakti' will set the screens on fire.

You don't have to be a show-off to be patriotic.

It is a pleasure to cooperate with Egyptian cinema.

Sri is an introvert. She doesn't talk to strangers.

I am trying to be both mother and father to my children.

It's nice to introduce Vidya Balan to the Tamil audience.

Shakti' is a very loose adaptation of 'Not Without My Daughter.'

I feel 'Mom' is not just a successful film but a satisfying one.

I may have been in financial difficulties, but I'm not a pauper.

One has to be honest to the story and choose actors accordingly.

I am extremely happy and thrilled about 'Mom' releasing in China.

Delhi is fresh, brazen and more glamorous as compared to subtle Mumbai.

Mom' is my third film with my wife and there's a definite comfort level.

I really feel elated and proud for the achievements of my children and my family.

Hum Paanch' made Amrish Puri a star and he went on to play Mogambo in my 'Mr. India.'

Sahara Shree has put a lot of faith in me and I'm hoping to live up to his confidence.

The acknowledgement of my family members be it my daughter or my son means a lot to me.

There are heroes and then there are legends, heroes get remembered but legends never die.

We are pleased to have acquired remake rights of 'Comali' for all languages in the world.

There are no fixed notions on what I should pick up or follow, it has to first appeal to me.

We had to recreate the banks of the river Yamuna on a studio floor. It wasn't easy… or cheap.

I have my moments when I am down and low. But I gather myself when decisions are to be taken.

Sridevi was a part of the planning of 'Nerkonda Paarvai.' She was a part of the negotiations too.

My passion for film-making was bordering indulgence. But gone are those days when I was adventurous.

U.P. is where I belong to, I was born in Meerut, so whenever I come here, I'm reminded of my childhood.

I never had a preconceived notion about what I should do or what I should take up… I am not that intelligent.

There's huge potential in China. They have about 50,000 screens and they need content, which we produce a lot.

When a filmmaker tries to make a good film and if he gets success in that then definitely it's a nice feeling.

India and Egypt have been strongly influencing each other's culture, arts and architecture since ancient times.

I am like a common man who is dictated by what I like and I sometimes feel that if something good, I should produce it.

While producing a remake, one is sure of the success that it will have as the project has been tried and tested earlier.

Patriotism cannot be instilled inside anybody, it just happens to be there. And it can rise above any notion, any emotion.

Unlike so many producers who sit in their offices and operate from there, I take pride in calling myself a creative producer.

The taste of a multiplex audience in Amrawati is very different from the taste a multiplex audience in Nariman Point, Mumbai.

I fell in love with Sri when I watched her Tamil film during the late 1970s. After watching her film, I wanted to know more about her.

Professionally, South has contributed in whatever standing I have. And yes, personally, too, it has given the joy of my life, Sridevi.

For 'Tevar' we chose Amit Sharma to do the Hindi version of the Telugu hit 'Okkadi' because we wanted to change the flavour and mood of the original.

I don't think I can make a film without Salman. He is in 'Mr. India 2' and also in the sequels to 'No Entry' and 'Wanted.' I'm his new Sooraj Barjatya.

As for me, my foundations were laid in the south. We did the post-production of 'Hum Paanch' in Chennai, with many technicians from here working for us.

She was my wife and I love her & loved her beyond imagination but I also respected her art, the passion and dedication with which she committed herself to her work.

I am really happy that my daughter Janhvi has been honoured with the 'Arets Stjerneskudd' award as the rising talent of the year by Royal Norwegian Consulate General.

Shakti' moves on various levels - love in Canada, feudalism in India and, above all, a mother's fierce fight against her father-in-law to wrest back custody of her child.

I grew up hearing about Raj Kapoor and K. Asif and the way they used to make films lavishly. We are dream merchants and we have got to sell dreams, which are lapped up by all.

When doing a remake, you're on safer territory. You know you cannot go absolutely wrong. But how right it goes depends on various factors like casting and the way you adapt the film.
