Light-hearted films are not content-driven films.
Generally, I feel I'm cast aside because of the kind of movies that I make.
People don't want to always see a comedy or an action film. If the film in a particular genre is made well, then it will see its share of success.
In terms of level of difficulty, it would go comedy, thriller, and then romantic drama.
Really I'm a fan of any movie, whether it's suspense, action, or comedy - anything that has a good story.
'Mission: Impossible' is basically entertainment, and for what it is, it's fine. I don't think most actors become actors to do that type of film.
I never really did a western western.
Every actor has to deal with what's on his plate, and I try to deal with doing the best work possible with the most challenging scripts. I don't base it on whether it's a feature film or a TV-movie or cable.
I can't say that I wouldn't prefer to make small films, basically because I think they are probably more interesting in terms of the material. But every now and again, it's quite good to do a big one.
In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.
When I became a film-maker, all my favourite films, they weren't comedies.
The Oscar for the films, it'd be nice. But I don't make those kind of films, and I don't think that will ever happen.
To make a documentary is one thing, to make a feature film is quite another.
'Zero Dark Thirty' raised the stakes. It raised the stakes in cinema, man. I don't think people really know how to grasp what type of film this is.
As far as the type of movies I am offered is concerned, it's a mix. I have been offered both period films and the regular fare.
I love good film, whether it's an independent or studio film. The independent films, I think the good ones aren't necessarily eccentric ones but they're the more specific ones.
I love song-and-dance films.
I don't see myself making comedies always.
I've never done a big studio film, I've only ever done little ones.
Sundance is like a genre.
I've always been really into action movies. Since I was little, that was my favorite type of film.
I would love to do anything from a really gritty, interesting, indie type film, to that commercial, bigger stuff.
I don't have a horror film in me just because I don't like to be scared. But I definitely have a documentary in me, and I certainly have dramas.
I have done 'Mumbai Meri Jaan,' 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!;' they are not comedy. But those roles didn't stick with people. Comedy films run, even though some of them are bad films. So people see these more.
It is all about playing a challenging role, and whether a film is a commercial one or not does not really matter.
