Bollywood is a different ballgame. I am quite used to Tamil and Telugu films.
Having portrayed English-speaking Indian characters in British and American projects, I have always wanted to use my mother tongue in an Indian film.
I don't look at Hollywood as a big break. Indian film stands on its own.
I love and respect the Indian film industry specially Salman Khan is such a huge star and so humble.
'Piku' is not at all a film in the Bollywood kind of way.
The success of Indian music at the Oscars is a great achievement.
In Indian cinema there are no professional voice trainers.
'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' is a very emotional perspective on a traditional Indian woman.
I don't want to be a part of any Bollywood movie.
I was just lucky to be a part of this phenomenon of Indian cinema. Perhaps no other film can ever match the magic and awe of 'Baahubali.'
Indian cinema will continue to grow, I am very sure.
In my opinion, the biggest achievement was by Shankar-Jaikishan. With Raj Kapoor's 'Barsaat,' they changed the way we looked at playback singing.
I love 'Rang De Basanti.'
I would be stupid to say no to Bollywood. It is the biggest film industry in our country.
I am a huge Bollywood fan, and my favourite actor of all time is Shah Rukh Khan.
'Flying Jatt' is a different and interesting script.
Pooja Bhatt is a very good director.
Hindi film and southern film industries are doing well when it comes to technical know how. By and large, they are pretty similar and are close knit industries.
I am working on 'Bombay Velvet'. The music for it is jazz from the '60s.
In Berkley, they have academic studies on all genres of music including rock and jazz, but in India, we don't have serious academic research and studies on film music; it is such an interesting area of study.
Indian film awards lack credibility.
I worked in SRK and Salman Khan's films as a child artiste, so Bollywood has always been on my radar.
Bollywood is treating me well.
It feels amazing to know that the whole country thought my role in 'Newton' was one of my best, and to win the Special Mention Award at the highest film award in India is just exhilarating.
Fortunately or unfortunately, 'Baahubali' has become a benchmark for all historical-costume dramas.
