I hope to work in Indian films again. I would love to.
I want to do Indian films based on scripts with a universal appeal.
Many from Peshawar starred in our film industry and Lahore too was the hub of films before the Partition.
When I was a kid, my grandfather used to watch Bollywood films. There's a lot of colour and vibrancy to the Indian films.
I love music, and can dance on the desi beats. Punjabi music is my favourite. I listen to artists like Honey Singh. I love his music. I also love watching Bollywood films.
I think 'Adiye/Yadike' is unique and fresh and something new for Indian films. It brings together the blues and gospel feel with Tamil folk lyrics.
David Dhawan is the best as far as Indian comedy films are concerned.
It is a great feeling to be working in Bollywood where films are made with much larger scope.
Nayakan,' 'Sathya' and 'Thevar Magan' are my biggest influences.
Compared with other Indian film composers, I only write about six movies a year. Others write up to 60.
If people ever stop making films about India, I'd never work again.
Westerners are open to Indian films.
Movies are a big part of our Indian culture.
My mother is a very big cinema buff, so as a kid, we watched a lot of Indian and Malay films.
There is a ban on Indian films in Pakistan, so that's half of our market gone.
Movies play a very important part in my life and I think the most number of films are made in India.
Indian cinema seems to be growing very well at its own pace.
Cinema in India is growing big time and people abroad have started recognising us.
A lot of people in India are not that into non-Indian films or Western films.
I grew up on a staple of films where I saw actors like Waheeda Rehman, Smita Patil, Shabana Azmi, Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi playing very powerful parts in films.
Bollywood is just amazing.
I've been offered roles in Indian films, but I wanted my debut film to be from Pakistan. A lot of people think that I've made my music career from India, but that's not true. I made it big in Pakistan, and then I went across the border.
I can't leave Punjabi films and will make it a point to act in at least one film a year there.
The thing people don't get about Indian films is that the songs are the story.
We are always larger than life because we come from this mentality that since we are a very poor nation, we need an escapist cinema to take us out of our miseries. And that's where Bollywood comes from.
