I guess people feel that if you're working with good directors and are known in the Hindi film industry, then you won't work in South films.

It is true that I got recognition. But however good the comedies are, nobody will accept a good comedy director as a good director. That is the sad part of it.

The way I pick movies is, first, if the script is any good. Then, if the script is good, who else is in it, the director, the producer, all that. If you have all that, there's a chance the movie will be great. If the script isn't right, or the director or cast isn't right, you've got no shot in hell.

A good project but a poor director will always make a mediocre film, but an average script and good director can make a good film, as he will put in everything to make the film look good.
With a good script a good director can produce a masterpiece; with the same script a mediocre director can make a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can’t possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. That is what makes a real movie. The script must be something that has the power to do this.
For me, it's not like I am going to look at the money the director's film has made before their film... For me, it is about working with the director whose work I have admired.
