I remember cycling down in my hometown Kanpur twice in two days for eight kilometres to see 'Ardh Satya.' I loved its rawness at a time when everyone was doing potboilers.

You come back with an actor for the second time only when you had a successful and creatively satisfying experience the first time round.

For an Indian audience a double role promises twice the entertainment with somebody they enjoy watching on screen.

I come from theatre and I like the audition process.

Films are made for audience's appreciation but films are also made for artistic satisfaction.

Many people want to be a part of this industry only because of its glamour. What they have to understand is that it takes hard work to make it big. Imitation and bootlicking won't get you through.

Amitabh Bachchan is such a senior actor, a big star, everyone is in awe of him, but he is such a great guy to work with.

Bollywood is a place which is completely free from caste, region and religion. Some people might work in the industry with the help of networking but I feel is that it's your artistic competence that gets you work in industry.

I truly enjoy working with kids because they teach me something and it allows me to get in touch with few things that are a bit personal to me.
