I had to go through a grilling process to meet Mr. Aditya Chopra. It took a lot of time and auditioning.
One day, I got a call from Aditya Chopra and he said, 'Ma'am, I am Aditya Chopra speaking, Yash Chopra ji's son. I am making a film and I have a role for you.' I was so simple at that time, I told him, 'Ya fine, I am shooting at Noor Mahal bungalow, you come and meet me there.'
I am a huge fan of Yash Chopra, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Sooraj Barjatiya or Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Aditya Chopra. They are great legends.
I have got good films, and I am thankful to Aditya Chopra. He put a lot of faith in me.
I only know a few people who I call friends and a few who've given me the respect, like Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra, Aamir Khan and Mani Ratnam.
There were times when I was working three jobs at one time, and I was still auditioning just to make ends meet, and I was hoping that something was going to come through. Especially after you have two degrees, standing solid through the process is sometimes the hardest part because there is no guarantee.
Aditya Chopra is my mentor and one of my favorite directors.
My dream is to compose for Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra.
I have grown up watching Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar movies. Naturally, I aspire to be a part of their kind of cinema.
Whatever little films I did, I got to work with big names like Aditya Chopra, Mohit Suri and Mahesh Bhatt.
I think a lot of people - by the time I came back with a script I liked, which took me many years, they'd forgotten who I was. Doors all the time are slamming, you meet friends that you've had for years, you'd go to the studio, and they'd say things to indicate clearly that they hadn't read it, or that they'd had their assistant sort of skim it. They wouldn't buy it. They wouldn't make it.
When I got the script for 'Mr. Robot,' I was auditioning for a bunch of stuff. I had an audition going for a movie at the time that I wanted to do.
You'll never have any trouble with Mr. T, I'm just a big, calm teddy bear kind of guy. Mr. T ain't ashamed to cry. When I go out and I meet people who are suffering and they come and talk to me, Mr. T cries, Mr. T who could break a man's jaw with his fist.
You have to go through a big process with the Directors Guild in order to get co-direction credit. They sit you in front of this microphone in front of like 40 legendary directors, and they start grilling you.
People have even said my father paid Aditya Chopra to make a film for me. It's illogical. People say what they have to say.
Things may not go to plan, but the unexpected throws up experiences and opportunities you had never dreamed of. I didn't get into Oxford the first time. I was absolutely heartbroken. Instead of going anywhere else I took a year out and reapplied. I wish I'd had some kind of framework for that year out, instead I worked in a Virgin Megastore. But looking back it taught me a lot, and meant my university experience was different, not worse. In the end, your grades aren't as important as the people you meet, and you can meet them anywhere.
The real trick to auditioning is just letting go of trying to please them. Make it your own. That took me a long time to learn.
