I don't hope for anything. Not only in my professional life, but in my family life also. My total lifestyle is like that.

I have never, ever argued about money with any of my producers because that is the kind of relationship and understanding I have with them.

Nothing was planned in my career.

Priyadarshan has directed over 84 films and more than 150 ad films. With every film, he is growing. He knows his job well; he is thorough. His way of making a film and song or choreographing a scene is entirely different from other directors. He knows how to use an actor's talent and how to handle an actor.

I grew up on a set and saw my family doing it and thought, 'I can do that too.'

People always want to give you advice about parenting. People who you've never met before will tell you you're doing something wrong. And it's quite similar in writing. People forget that you're a human; they just want to give you their advice.

I relate with military families and Gold Star families. Gold Star families are families where somebody didn't come home. My father died in 1949. He was a flight instructor in the Army Air Corp.

Inspiring passion in family and friends has more enduring value than just staying alive for them.
