People think the effort is less in popular commercial cinema, but that's not true.

I don't think you need a particular day to dedicate to your dad or to make your father or parents feel special. A child should make his or her parents feel special every day and vice versa.

I have this dream of directing. But as a child, I wanted to become a wrestler. Like, in childhood, we used to watch WWF; I was inspired by all of that. One of my favourite wrestlers was Rock, who has become an actor.

I have trained, but not really that much professionally. But 'ABCD2' has been the biggest training ground. I've been exposed to and learnt so many dance forms through this film.

Things have to touch me as a human being. I do films that touch my heart.

Superstars in every era have come from outside the industry, and that will continue to happen because cinema is nobody's birthright.

Every film is like a baby for me; it's like my own child. I feel protective and aggressive each time my film hit theatres.

Although there is a beast in all of us, we don't show it often. But it is very liberating to be that angry at times. Given a chance, I'm sure people would like to go on a rampage and break everything.

I am restless like my father and do two-three things at a time.

When you are signing a film, you should not miss the beginning process which involves workshops and discussions; otherwise, it is difficult to understand the character.

I definitely think if you're born into the industry, you get easier access, but that's about it. I have never denied that, but after that, only talent and hard work sustains you.

I don't really care what anyone else is doing. I'm only focussed on my work.
