With both Caddyshack and Vacation, it's not like the subjects were serious enough that they engaged my interest for another round. I love the characters, and the actors were great, but I didn't see the need to make another Vacation movie.
Of course subjects are changing, and since I started so early in filmmaking, I did my first film at age 19, of course you grow up with your films and you are not trotting the same path all the time.
Films like 'Satya,' 'Company' needed a pan-Indian audience. The affinity for Hindi film and subjects was there.
Film-makers are greedy people - we want good stories and good subjects.
I prefer working in good cinema, wherever it is. I like subjects that have a universal appeal.
I love film, and I think it's so important for kids to be educated about films and real life subjects that films cover.
I make movies on the subjects that excite me.
It is much easier to do a film about something that the audience readily knows about - say, cricket. It is much more difficult to write a film based on golf.
I am a filmmaker. That is all I've ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food.
It's not easy to make films that one wants to because it is not easy to find a producer that fast for the subjects I want to make. They are not hot cakes in the market.
I don't think the subject of a documentary film should be producers on it.
As a creative agency, the film industry is thinking great subjects, presenting them wonderfully well, and giving opportunity to new faces each day.
For a documentary it's so important to find the characters and to find people who will give you access to film
One thing that's nice about doing a movie about people that hardly anyone knows, you never worry if they're a perfect match.
I’m always interested in films that are about extreme subject matters.
