I will deal with hell when I get there
Why do only children of film stars get launched?
Times of Jiah with me, but Jiah’s times gone
I went to Jiah Khan’s house to visit her family. What I couldn’t take was the photograph of Jiah from Nishabd in the living room, garlanded, with a few smoking agarbattis in front.
Don’t gauge your value through other people’s valuation
Do you feel hurt or angry when people make negative and insulting comments on you?
Hitting the right spot
Where to hang Kasab? It’s the place that counts. In fact, I have always believed that a location in a film should be treated like a character. In the right context and with rightly composed shots, you will almost feel as if the location is alive. It should have a recall value long after the film is over.
Just call me Gabbar Singh
Once, someone sent me a printout of a review posted on a website titled “Get Him While He’s Down Cause He’s Gonna Come Back with a Magnum and Then You Gotta Ask Yourself: ‘Do I Feel Lucky?’ Well, Do Ya PUNK?”
It happened to me
Ever since I can remember I have been an atheist. I haven’t visited a temple. And
even when there was Ganpati puja at my home in Hyderabad, my only interest was in the sweets, and a break from the school text books for three days.
Expect the unexpected
When I first came to Mumbai from Hyderabad, I couldn’t get over a train ride past the Dharavi slums. It looked like one single roof. I wondered how people live there. How do they enter or exit? Two-year-old children were crawling just about three feet away from the railway tracks.
I’m not the only weirdo
How true is it that you’re broke and have shifted from your office to a dilapidated building?
Not true. Actually I have shifted to under a tree and I now operate from a footpath.
We are all programmed
It has always been a mystery to me why someone makes it in life and someone doesn’t. It is not as simple as possessing in-born talent or luck. I am certain that it has actually a lot to do with subconscious programming, not necessarily designed or intended.

How many bhoots are you going to unleash on, us Ramuji?
