If I get a call from Imtiaz Ali or Zoya Akhtar to star in their films, I won't think twice.
I am huge fan of Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Ghulam Ali and Mehdi Hassan. Listening to these people inspired me to become a singer.
I loved 'Highway.' It was amazing. I have watched Imtiaz Ali's other films, too, and he is one of my favourite Bollywood directors, besides Vishal Bhardwaj and Mani Ratnam.
I still consider 'Vaastav' and Raj Kumar Santoshi's 'Pukar' two of my better films, though I admit nothing great happened thereafter.
I started with 'Baaghi,' in which I cast Tiger Shroff. And then with director Imtiaz Ali's entry in our production, I tried totally different films like 'Tamasha,' etc.
I'd love to work with Vishal Bhardwaj and Imtiaz Ali.
I will watch any film directed by Imtiaz Ali.
I started getting modelling assignments and that's how I became interested in acting. But my father, who last watched Dilip Kumar's ' Devdas,' wanted me to do MBA. I didn't listen to him and gave my audition for Yash Raj films' 'Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge' and got selected for it.
I was shocked when Raj Kumar Santhoshi approached me for 'Ghatak.'
I am inspired by thinkers. I am inspired by rebellion. I am inspired by children. I have been inspired by love. I have been inspired by heartbreak. I try to take everything that comes at me in life. There have been times in my life that I didn't handle things... right. But even though you stumble, you still kind of get through it.
What inspires me? I am so inspired every day. I am inspired by thinkers. I am inspired by rebellion. I am inspired by children. I have been inspired by love.
When we produced 'Highway,' Imtiaz Ali and I planned it as a quick small experimental film, while we waited for Ranbir Kapoor's dates later during the year.
I want to work with Sriram Raghavan, Imtiaz Ali, Karan Johar, and, of course, any other director who is offering a great role to play in a film.
The kind of filmmaker that I am, even my darker horror films generally are still very fun. And I think that's important for me and the kind of films I make.
I want to do a black comedy with Homi Adajania and also want to work with Vishal Bhardwaj, Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Kashyap.
I've done a lot of Bengali films with heavyweights like Rituparna Ghosh, Buddhadeb Das Gupta and carved my niche with both commercial as well as art films.
