Shooting straight

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.

What on earth were you thinking when you made Bhoot 2?
Thinking?

Who really writes your columns?
My ghost.

You will die alone.
I will prefer that to your company.

Do you decide to make a film going by your instinct or logic or something else?
By something else.

Thanks in advance for reading my one line.
I agree with several of your points.

You are one of my favourite directors.
Please don’t tell the names of the others and spoil it for me.

I don’t think you’ve made any bad films, some of them just didn’t work.
Films should only be made with the intention of making them work. Good and bad are very subjective.

Shiva was an incomplete film. The second-half is with me.
Make it yourself.

Do you know I fell in love with Sridevi after watching Kshana Kshanam?
I made that movie because I was in love with her.

How do you feel when you look at your movies that are six to seven years old?
That they are six to seven years old.

Why have you always turned a deaf ear to my questions?
I only answer what is worth answering.

Why don’t you make movies for society’s good?
I am not into social welfare. I am into self-welfare.

I can tell you how your mind works.
Congrats. I have been trying to figure that out myself since long.

Define luck.
Whatever it is, since it is not in our control by its very definition, why waste time thinking about it?

Do you believe in Che Guevara?
I don’t know who he is.

I have written some scripts. Would you like to read them?
NO.

Some of Woody Allen’s quotes remind me of you.
Thanks for making me realise that I am not the only weirdo on the planet.

Shouldn’t you go to a hill station and think?
I don’t think from a place. I think from my mind.
