I don't hope for anything. Not only in my professional life, but in my family life also. My total lifestyle is like that.

I have never, ever argued about money with any of my producers because that is the kind of relationship and understanding I have with them.

Nothing was planned in my career.

Priyadarshan has directed over 84 films and more than 150 ad films. With every film, he is growing. He knows his job well; he is thorough. His way of making a film and song or choreographing a scene is entirely different from other directors. He knows how to use an actor's talent and how to handle an actor.

Life inspires more dread than death - it is life which is the great unknown.

A surgeon is surrounded by people who are sick, discouraged, afraid, embittered, dying - but also courageous, loving, wise, compassionate and alive.

Post-production is kind of the death of hope. The money has been spent. The grand ideas are either there or they're not there. So music oftentimes has to compensate if there are issues, or it has to stay out of the way if the movie is working really well.

I know the injustice of outliving a child, the pain of a future stolen away, of mourning forever a voice you'll never hear.
