I had done 17 drafts of 'Heyy Babyy' before the final screenplay emerged. It's actually based on the wild lifestyle of a friend. In fact, when he saw 'Heyy Babyy' he threatened to sue me and said I'd better pay him royalty.
'Heyy Babyy' needed fast cutting and eye contact. It didn't need fancy camera angles.
After the success of 'Heyy Babyy,' 'Housefull' and 'Housefull 2' I was overly confident that 'Himmatwala' would set new records. Its failure was disheartening.
I don't know how many modern families watch 'Modern Family,' but then one of the points of 'Modern Family' is that it's hard to tell what a modern family is anymore, let alone what it does.
I keep saying this to everyone: 'Grand Masti' is a family film that the entire family needs to watch - independently!
I wanted people to respect me as a filmmaker. 'Heyy Babyy' did well, then 'Housefull' did well, so I wanted people to take me seriously.
'Newton' is a very Indian film. I think, after a long time, people will see an Indian film in its true form. As in the story, the character, it is set in the heartland of India, but it's purely like how there was a time when Hrishikesh Mukherjee used to make sweet Indian films.
I love 'Modern Family; I think that is a great show. I don't get to watch tons of TV, but when I do, 'Sons of Anarchy' is pretty much the number one, and 'Modern Family' is one of my favorites.
I don't study films particularly. I plan to direct, but I'm not watching film - I watch the entire film to see how the story goes, but I don't say, 'Oh, so he does a slow pan here, or he pulls here, watch the crane shot, or look at the composition,' because it's got to be my eye.
TMOK' is a family film, and everyone would like to watch the film. I'll be very happy even if I get 50 to 65 per cent of the box-office opening that 'Ra.One' gets.
I watch very little television, actually. There's so many shows I want to watch and then I know I'll get hooked and I have to binge-watch the entire thing.
The idea of watching an entire film basically from one person's perspective - and not even really from their perspective, but [it's] probably the most intimately shot film that's in any of these categories. If you're not familiar with Son of Saul, basically it's a film about a Jewish guy who's in concentration camp, but he helps dispose of the bodies after they leave the gas chamber. So, you watch the entire movie looking at Saul's face and looking at his interactions with people.
'KAY' is the kind of film you can watch with your family and enjoy for 2.5 hours.
Traditionally, I like to watch my plays from the very back.
I think the success of a film is very important to an actor. It depends on how many people go to watch your movies; the more the merrier. Nobody wants to do a film for five people. You work so hard that millions of people watch the movie; this is directly related to box office success.
Stuart Blumberg is suddenly an authority on the modern - or, dare we say, post-modern - family, thanks to the critically-acclaimed debut of his new film, 'The Kids Are All Right.'
