The physical journey in my films is indicative of the internal journey that my characters take.

I just write characters, and somehow they happen to be a boy and a girl. When the story is put together, and their characters interwoven, they do end up together somehow.

I have always tried to make profitable films because people's offices shut down if films fail, and I will do everything to avoid that.

I am a keen observer of my own films; I also try to discover myself through the movies I make.

I'm a big foodie. Hyderabadi cuisine is amazing, and the kind of mutton dishes available at some restaurants in the Old City is incredible.

My father did irrigation jobs, and I would sometimes accompany him, and that gave me a taste of what was going on in the innards of India.
