whole unit was tamilian theyd say agar tamil mein hota toh kaisa hota train chennai se madhurai ja raha hota so that was at the back of my mind and coincidentally some people from the tamil film industry approached us to make a remake i hope it turns out better than jwm do you think real cinema is on the rise courtesy the young crop of directors it is on the rise for sure and the good part is people are appreciating what is new today we can make any kind of movie that we want to make if anurag kashyap has made a gulaal its something that he believed in and wanted to show people we all consider ourselves lucky to be in cinema at this point of time when we have a certain sense of freedom by the time we came to cinema people had lost their faith in formula films and we were lucky that nobody knew any better so we said why not make such films but how difficult it is to stay away from commercialisation of the films i dont represent a style or a function or a system of working i only represent myself im a victim of my own limitations but i have an advantage too which is that im a person of common taste what i like general people also tend to like i think cinema is the most expensive way of communication but its also a dhanda it needs to recover cost so if i am taking somebodys money to make a movie i need to return it in terms of box office collections but ill never make any compromises just for commercialisation any competition with the new crop of directors were all very friendly with each other there are almost 12 directors on my phone list that i regularly keep in touch with we all keep discussing story ideas many of us read each others scripts and give suggestions insights and all sometimes we criticise and cannibalise each other so that the end product comes out well which movies inspired you when you were growing upsholay left a deep impact mukkadar ka sikandar and other such potboilers were my favourites shyam benegals junoon bimal roys sujata madhumati bandhini do bigha zameen vijay anands jewel thief and guide are some of my favourites what about world cinemasince i hail from a small town like jamshedpur i did not have access to world cinema when i came to delhi and then mumbai i got exposed to it now i have reached a stage where i dont enjoy hollywood movies at all watching a hollywood movie is like shopping in a supermarket its pretty boring
