The formula for a successful film is simple: good script, good direction, a dedicated cast and a fantastic crew. If you have all of these elements then the rest will fall into place.
I think every film has a destiny.
I told my sons to remember to always thank people for compliments.
If my films do well or not, I am glad that the audiences appreciate my performance.
As an actor you do look for a certain amount of critical acclaim and recognition from your peers and the industry at large. When that recognition comes to you, it's a special moment that you cherish and you always feel successful despite what the box office says.
If a film is good, it will work no matter what.
It's not the skunk's fault that he's a skunk or that he gives off this really bad stink. If I am a skunk, I want to live as a skunk, I want to know what my truth is, to know the person I am without fear.
Do I look like a sex-symbol or a pin-up boy? It's just that my father presented me like a dream.
The biggest hit of my life is Agneepath. My second is Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and the third biggest hit is Dhoom 2
I have been elevated to such a high status that the fall will be very steep.
I am so excited. I love IIFA. I think it's great to meet all the people from your fraternity in one place, that too out of the country.
I've chosen films that are different compared to the conventional Bollywood films we all know and love.
You know, we love to categorise or label everything in our lives: people, movies. But I think that those are just the decorations. They, of course, work. They're great, but that's not the thrust of the film.
It's not about Hollywood, it's always about a good script for me.
For me, it's the reactions from the audiences that are golden. If they enjoy it, then half the battle has been won.
As professional actors, it's our job to entertain our audiences while setting benchmarks for ourselves as well, creatively and intellectually.
My father is an absolute inspiration and such a gifted filmmaker. I have learned and continue to learn so much from him.
I look for the essence of a story and a human angle that I think audiences can relate to. I also look at how the dialogues flow in the film as a whole and between the characters, and most importantly I always consider what I can bring to the character from a creative point of view.
My parents through to my grandparents have seen and experienced all shades of life, the good and the bad, and they always faced every situation fearlessly. We share a unified bond which I also instil in my own family and it is with all of this that I am able to go out and do good work.
