‘Protagonists are my alter egos’
I think the reason why you are fascinated with criminals is because they are not scared about being selfish. Would you say that’s true?
‘Ask moronic question, get a moronic answer’
You are a con artiste and not even a good one. Your luck will run out after two years.
Okey dokey. Ask me the same question after two years.
Those ridiculous awards
The season of film awards is about to return with a vengeance. If I don’t attend or appreciate awards it is not out of a sour grapes attitude but it’s simply because I do not believe in them — whether it is the Oscars or the hundreds of awards given in our country by media houses and other organisations who know that such functions mean big business.

Into the criminal mind
Rape is nothing but a brutal and heinous invasion of a woman’s freedom
have to say this loud and clear. My blood boils with rage when I hear some premedieval jokers say that a woman wearing glamorous clothes is inviting herself to be raped. That’s like saying a rich man showing his wealth is inviting himself to be robbed. Or a political leader wielding his power is inviting himself to be killed.
A world apart
The other day, someone asked me why I never give up making movies about the underworld. The simple answer to that is, “Why should I?” And to that I would add, that the subject is inexhaustible. Just like love stories are.
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.
Women come edited onscreen
QWill you show Kasab’s hanging in the film you’re making on the 26/11 attacks?
Yes, because that will be a perfect happy ending for an otherwise dark violent story.
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.
