I wanted to make a film that was sophisticated and emotional, but for a wider audience.
Horror films can be of different kinds. But 'Aaviri' is not a horror film. It's a thriller against the backdrop of a family.
My brother Van got the computer first and showed me what it was like to edit video. I definitely credit Van with turning me onto filmmaking.
I'd definitely like to widen my film range. I mean, I'd love to do some theater.
A day on a film set is maddening.
I'd always had the concern that being in commercials would affect my credibility when I was getting started as a TV and film actor.
I would love to do a period film and work with Shyam Benegal.
When you do a slasher film, you find yourself repeating the same kind of scene, then it becomes not very challenging and not very interesting.
A film actor is just a victim of directors and editors.
Film would have been great, but I don't think I was ever in the frame.
When you're working on film music, you're only working on 20, 30-minute sections at a time.
I never thought I would direct a film.
I came into films with 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna.' My first film was actually 'Hulchul,' but it was released after 'HRHK.'
For the production of 'Jodi' I have joined hands with Amrinder Gill, but he would not be seen on the screen for this film.
Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way.
Eventually, I began singing in various shows. It was then that I started appreciating the breadth and depth of Hindi film music.
When you're in this league, you have to do something every single day. You have off days, but those off days are usually watching film.
My first film that I got right after 'Spring Awakening' was called 'Taking Woodstock,' and Ang Lee was the director.
Film shouldn't be a pain. It's a creative process.
I've always loved the collaborative side of filmmaking, and there's a lot of things I can do in the acting side of things in terms of the creating of action sequences, and coming up with ways of doing things with a stunt coordinator.
