Jism' is what it is because of my feminine gaze... And I believe strongly that my female audiences deserve eye candy as much as my male audiences do!

I don't only cater a film to the male audience but also the female audience.

I was told that since I am such an opinionated woman, people would think 10 times before approaching me for their films.

I am only in competition with the people who taught me cinema. I am not in competition with anyone in the industry.

Forced to confront a reptile or an international financial crisis, I'll take the reptile every time.

Money? How did I lose it? I never did lose it. I just never knew where it went.

Companies and capital operate internationally, often beyond the economic reach of any particular nation-state. People are pretty global, too, living lives that freely cross national borders.

My father did not have a lot of security in his life. He did odd jobs. He had a real struggle to make money. He lost a lot of time in his 20s, after the war, because he was sent to a forced-labour camp in Siberia.
