"Nobody is immune to feeling depressed." — Farhan Akhtar

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.
