Sajid says no to Twitter, yes to Akshay
While Twitter keeps adding to its who’s who list, Sajid Khan has called it quits. “I joined Twitter to promote my film which after a point I realised was wrong. I feel uncomfortable opening the pages of my life on a social networking site. How far can you go when it comes to sharing details about your personal life in the public domain? So I felt it’s time to put a full stop,” he confesses.
It is technology however, that helps Sajid with his hitmaker ideas. “Funnily, movie ideas come to me at odd hours of the night and I simply text myself whatever comes in my mind. Next morning I read the text and then the idea germinates and eventually starts taking shape. Unlike television which was all about ‘spur of the moment acts’, the process of movie making is like a full term pregnancy,” Sajid says.
Sajid says he doesn’t believe in taking a sabbatical after the “pregnancy” i.e. making a film. “A hectic schedule at work doesn’t mean that you won’t turn up the next day. So why should a filmmaker go for a holiday?” he points outs.
After Housefull, Sajid’s mind is already buzzing with new ideas. “I am working on two scripts. One of them seems tailor-made for Akshay Kumar and it will be a romantic action movie. For the other, I may be casting someone else,” he shares.
Sajid is nonchalant about the critical drubbing of his films. “I feel critics don’t make a difference to the fate of a film. Like all of us, critics too have an opinion, but ultimately the audience relies on their own instinct,” he declares.
