A Quote by Tinnu Anand

I have directed Amitabh in four films - 'Kaalia,' 'Shahenshah,' 'Main Azad Hoon' and 'Major Saab' - and we have always been hand-in-glove. — © Tinnu Anand
I have directed Amitabh in four films - 'Kaalia,' 'Shahenshah,' 'Main Azad Hoon' and 'Major Saab' - and we have always been hand-in-glove.
'Main Hoon Na' will always be special since it was my first film but in my subsequent films, I was trying to show off with gimmicks that didn't aid the narrative in any way.
The third line of cinema today is neither art nor commercial but categorized as good and bad cinema. I think two films - 'Main, Meri patni aur Who' and 'Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon' were the base films for this new line of cinema.
'Kaalia' was essentially a powerful film with punchy dialogues between its key characters Amitabh Bachchan and Pran Sahab.
I've always been told that because of 'Main Hoon Na,' a lot of female filmmakers have come up but I maintain that direction is a 'genderless' job.
When two terms belong to the same category, it is proper to construct conjunctive propositions embodying them. Thus a purchaser may say that he bought a left-hand glove and a right- hand glove, but not that he bought a left-hand glove, a right- hand glove, and a pair of gloves. 'She came home in a flood of tears and a sedan-chair' is a well known joke based on the absurdity of conjoining terms of different types. Now the dogma of the Ghost in the Machine does just this. It maintains that there exist both bodies and minds.
I would not have been interested in doing just a revenge film simply because I have seen so many revenge films right from Clint Eastwood films to Amitabh Bachchan's 'Zanjeer', 'Sholay' and 'Ghayal' and various variants of them.
I have enjoyed the films directed by Prabhu Deva and simply love his choreography. And he is the best dancer India has. I feel he knows what the audience wants, and that is why the films he has directed are hits.
After 'Main Hoon Na,' I got married; so I took some time off.
I have always made films simultaneously, so they go hand in hand. I think that my books are like films.
Since 'Main Hoon Na' is a cult film, if I want to make a sequel, the story has to be good!
As colleagues, Shammi ji was my first co-actor and the hero of my debut film 'Junglee' in 1961. I met him for the first time at Kashmir's Shalimar Bagh where we were filming the song 'Kashmir ki kali hoon main.' I was an excited teenager, fresh out of London College, and had pursued films against my mother's wishes.
When we stand, the Azad Hind Fauz has to be like a wall of granite; when we march, the Azad Hind Fauz has to be like a steamroller.
If I am to be remembered for anything I have done in this profession, I would like it to be for the four films in which I directed Spencer Tracy.
I remember meeting Shah Rukh Khan sir on the sets of 'Main Hoon Naa' and I am a huge fan of him.
In both 'Dondo,' which has been directed by Tarun Mukherjee, and 'Krishna' directed by VV Vinayak, I got to play interesting characters. Moreover, I have enjoyed working for these films, because it was a challenge to learn two languages and express my emotions in them.
I think 'Main Hoon Na' is like the comeback of a Manmohan Desai film. Farah Khan made you laugh, cry and dance.
