I don't attribute any 'luck' to 'Bol Bachchan''s success. It was an entertaining commercial film which was bound to do well, and I guess I have the knack of picking up such universally appealing, fun masala movies which turn to be successful.
I love 'filmi' things.
Indian cinema is entertaining, and what I love most about it is the songs and dances in the films.
I've grown up watching 'Mawaali,' 'Himmatwalla,' and my love for masala movies started from there, and ever since, there's no looking back.
I am a kid who grew up watching mainstream Hindi films like 'Sholay,' 'Satte Pe Satta' and 'Mr India.'
Somewhere down the line, I want to do masala films too.
I really miss doing masala films.
There's a lot of scope for performing in masala movies.
The stereotypes attached to Bollywood were that it's a big, bad world or that it's a dirty world.
For an Indian audience a double role promises twice the entertainment with somebody they enjoy watching on screen.
In 2003, when I wrote the first 'Dhoom,' we were at the end of the curve of a certain kind of Hindi film, which was quite plastic. 'Dhoom' was unconventional then.
