Anything I wanted to do and achieve has not been influential in my life, but my failures have.
Through travel, you discover a new aspect to your personality. You discover things which you wouldnt seated in the confines of your home.
I think I am a travel junkie and I have never enjoyed anything else in my life more than travelling and going to places.
The story of 'Highway' is completely about travel. It is about the fascination of travel to an extent that I don't want to even reach the destination and also being away from society gives you a certain view of the society, so that was the intention of the film.
All the conscious decisions that I have taken in my life have never borne fruit. Not even come close! So, I am just very happy not planning.
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.
I try to travel as much as I can... I'm always looking for a reason to.
I have never seen a film being as influenced by the incidents during its making as Highway. The adventures of our north Indian road journey has many stories to tell.
I myself got married at a very young age. It has always intrigued me because marriage is very synthetic in an otherwise natural world.
I come from a middle class background. I have travelled a lot by trains and have lived in the world. It is a world I cannot get away from; I would not even want to.
Usually, you lose interest in a story beyond a certain point. But with Highway, there was something very subtle, yet something very influential. I intended Highway to be the first film that I ever made. Didnt happen.
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.
On the contrary Deepika feels inferior to other people I was surprised when I realised it. She is straightforward & very giving
'Love Aaj Kal' is not really a road movie, but it does involve some travel.
Dilip Kumar was the only Bollywood hero who could make a girl shiver just by looking at her. If you don't believe it, ask your mom!
