Roja,' 'Bombay' and 'Dil Se' weren't planned as political films. It was a phase India was going through and these things affected me and found their way into my work.

That's the beauty of Mumbai. While some parts have grown rapidly, there are places like Churchgate that have retained their character.

Whenever I am abroad, I spend hours and hours at video stores. I look for classics from filmmakers from all over the world.

Within the mainstream cinema, I feel you can experiment and make sensible films. It's possible to tell a story with characters and emotions which are real, genuine, and which need not be over the top.

Whatever film you do, even if it's a children's film, you do with the same amount of sincerity.

Writing is nagging, fascinating, troublesome and exciting.

Once the film is released, once my job is over, I can't see the film again.

I am glad that we can make bold films, different films within the commercial market and still do well.
