I don't think there has been a huge shift. Most of the films still focus on Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, etc. The percentage of films that have someone like a Kangana Ranaut shining in it is really low.

I'd jump to do a film with Aamir Khan. Aamir thinks through things before starting a project.

Pay disparity has always been there.

Why do we wait for tragedy to strike to tell someone how special they are, or how special they were?

I think more from my heart. My brains don't work as much.

Our films tremendously influence people. But at the same time, no one goes to the cinema to listen to lectures, so if you have an interesting story, and if you can showcase it as a film, and its messages are good, then it's like an icing on the cake: it shall be a superhit. And if I get those kind of films, I'll definitely want to work on it.
