Director

A break-up between couples is traumatic for everyone.

I remember so clearly as a kid, my biggest problem in life was I used to never follow up on anything.

When you go to a film set, of course you're going to do your job, and you're excited about being there, but you somehow feel fatigued that you are just doing this day in and day out.

I was a complete vagabond till the age of 20, when I got my first job as an assistant director with Pankaj Parashar.

It's amazing how much the human mind and body can do and achieve.

The first time I re-discovered the joy of watching an action movie was when I saw 'Die Hard.' It was a completely simple plot - a guy goes to meet his wife, and the building gets taken over by terrorists - but I was completely blown away. Great characters, and it moved along really fast.

In any case, I am not a great one to make plans for the future.

One fear setting on filmmakers is that the audience no longer has any patience. They want things to constantly move.

When I made my debut as an actor in 'Rock On!' I was confident to get in front of the camera.

'Haqeeqat' was a good war drama.

Apart from the highs and lows of when your film releases, there's a strange, addictive quality that making a film has because of all that drama. There's so much that goes on, and we miss it when it's over.

I am very fond of technology and like to keep pace with change.

To me 'Qurbani' was a good action film - it was fast, had one plot, and moved along at a pace, and it didn't really divert attention.

For me, to consciously seek unpredictable roles would be dangerous.

Fitness is about keeping yourself healthy. This is something you do for yourself and for your loved ones.

I basically like a bit more control. Even in my personal life, I need things to be done on time. If it's not done, I get impatient.

The power with which you can create a character is tremendous and probably more satisfying than actually being the person.

Filmmaking, whatever the window dressing or the scale of a film may be, is eventually about telling a story.

I usually play volleyball three times a week.

I used to lie a lot as a child, which I now regret. I think it is much easier just to tell the truth.
