A film sells feelings.

I don't believe in gratitude.

Of course i was in Love with Sridevi

In Tamil, three-hour films are normal.

My favourite virtue is not having any.

Ultimately, cinema is an actor's medium.

I always had a fair share of hits and flops.

I make movies on the subjects that excite me.

I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in ghosts.

I like people who have clarity about their work.

Fundamentally speaking, bodies age; feelings don't.

I feel that Sarkar is a realistic superman in his life.

Since everyone has a mouth, everyone will have an opinion.

Great films happen, and no one can make them on intention.

'Rakta Charitra' was more about human conflict than politics.

'The Godfather' has been a film which has influenced me a lot.

Even the biggest flops have been liked by a few select people.

Modern warfare has become too techno-ish for my sensibilities.

Any film I make, my intention is always to make people like it.

As a director and a creative person, I can say banning anything is wrong.

I don't want to answer questions about my favourite food or holiday spot.

Everyone can have a crush on anyone, be it on a real person or a celebrity.

The thing about audiences is that we can't generalise them. It's very unfair.

I have learnt the hard way that ignoring a small fry can be many times harmful.

I have always put the same effort in all my films irrespective of their outcome.

It is none of anyone's business how I make my films or my creative partnerships.

You are likely to make more mistakes with a light-hearted film than a serious one.

I have become a full-fledged producer. I spend a lot of time on pre-production work.

In Telugu, I have 'Bejawada Rowdilu,' a movie on the gang war culture in Vijayawada.

'Naach' doesn't have any of the traditional, conventional ingredients of a love story.

I like to see women getting drenched in the rain. So to that extent, I like 'Barsaat.'

Language is just a communication tool; it is the content that decides the fate of a film.

I sometimes think many reviewers write the reviews of my films even before they see them.

When you do anything completely different from a beaten path, many tend to pounce on you.

'Satya' and 'Company' are two very dark and brooding relationship films; there was no hero.

Some of my scripts need the larger catchment area of Bollywood. But some suit Telugu films.

Any film, whether it worked at the box office or not, I'll have my favourite moments from it.

With my films, I'm targeting the urban multiplexes, the sophisticated media-savvy young crowd.

I have made only two films on the underworld. I am not educating the people on the underworld.

The whole idea of making 'James' was to make an action film in the style of the 1970s and '80s.

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.

I don't work with anyone out of a sense of charity. I use people as long as they are useful to me.

I feel there are only well acted or badly acted roles and no such thing as a good actor or actress.

I understand emotions more than anyone else. I study emotions like a biologist studies various species.

I hate it that there are so many beautiful women in the world, and I can't have all of them for myself.

Today, filmmaking isn't just about shooting and releasing. You've to structure the marketing of a film.

With 'Daud,' basically, I wanted to make a very 'Mad Max' kind of a film: that was my original intention.

Following the West is not surrendering. Following the West, the best of the West, is following originality.

All my movies are copies of Hollywood, some of them pretty trashy copies. All filmmakers copy from Hollywood.
