Boney Kapoor

She was my wife and I love her & loved her beyond imagination but I also respected her art, the passion and dedication with which she committed herself to her work.

Delhi is fresh, brazen and more glamorous as compared to subtle Mumbai.

I wanted to be different.

Just like multiplex theatres, the industry had become divided, making films that alienated one kind of audience or another. It was really time to come out of the niche and make something that, at a certain level, clicked with everyone. 'Wanted' did just that. It opened the gates once more.

The taste of a multiplex audience in Amrawati is very different from the taste a multiplex audience in Nariman Point, Mumbai.

The kind of fan following that Salman has at the mass level is unparalleled. No one even comes close. So when he plays the Robin Hood or Chulbul Pandey sort of roles, people go crazy.

It's nice to introduce Vidya Balan to the Tamil audience.

Janhvi has her own individuality.

It's too much of a responsibility, too much stress, and to do justice to Sri in my first film as a director would be really tough. We can't separate our personal equation and become professionals on the sets. So no, I'm not directing Sri in my first film.

I don't think I can make a film without Salman. He is in 'Mr. India 2' and also in the sequels to 'No Entry' and 'Wanted.' I'm his new Sooraj Barjatya.

I can look after myself and my own.

I may have been in financial difficulties, but I'm not a pauper.

Sahara Shree has put a lot of faith in me and I'm hoping to live up to his confidence.

Shakti' moves on various levels - love in Canada, feudalism in India and, above all, a mother's fierce fight against her father-in-law to wrest back custody of her child.

Shakti' is a very loose adaptation of 'Not Without My Daughter.'

I am sure 'Shakti' will set the screens on fire.

While producing a remake, one is sure of the success that it will have as the project has been tried and tested earlier.

Mom' is my third film with my wife and there's a definite comfort level.

I never had a preconceived notion about what I should do or what I should take up... I am not that intelligent.

Nobody is as complete as her, my wife Sri.

We shot 'Tevar' in Mathura and Agra, 'Mom' was shot in Noida and Greater Noida.

I am extremely happy and thrilled about 'Mom' releasing in China.

One has to be honest to the story and choose actors accordingly.

I fell in love with Sri when I watched her Tamil film during the late 1970s. After watching her film, I wanted to know more about her.

Sri is an introvert. She doesn't talk to strangers.

No Entry' is close to my heart.

If I had my way, I would plan every film with Salman Khan.

I am like a common man who is dictated by what I like and I sometimes feel that if something good, I should produce it.

There are no fixed notions on what I should pick up or follow, it has to first appeal to me.

When a filmmaker tries to make a good film and if he gets success in that then definitely it's a nice feeling.

I feel 'Mom' is not just a successful film but a satisfying one.

I am a friendly father.

There are heroes and then there are legends, heroes get remembered but legends never die.

I'm not a puppet in anyone's hands.

I am trying to be both mother and father to my children.

When doing a remake, you're on safer territory. You know you cannot go absolutely wrong. But how right it goes depends on various factors like casting and the way you adapt the film.

There's huge potential in China. They have about 50,000 screens and they need content, which we produce a lot.

My passion for film-making was bordering indulgence. But gone are those days when I was adventurous.

Sridevi was a part of the planning of 'Nerkonda Paarvai.' She was a part of the negotiations too.

You don't have to be a show-off to be patriotic.

What can I say about Anil Kapoor? He is my brother and when I talk of him as an actor, I might sound biased. But I am not biased, I am very objective. I appreciate the fact that there are not many like him. There are not many who has his kind of totality.

Unlike so many producers who sit in their offices and operate from there, I take pride in calling myself a creative producer.

Professionally, South has contributed in whatever standing I have. And yes, personally, too, it has given the joy of my life, Sridevi.

As for me, my foundations were laid in the south. We did the post-production of 'Hum Paanch' in Chennai, with many technicians from here working for us.

I have my moments when I am down and low. But I gather myself when decisions are to be taken.

I don't fear anything.

We are pleased to have acquired remake rights of 'Comali' for all languages in the world.

I am really happy that my daughter Janhvi has been honoured with the 'Arets Stjerneskudd' award as the rising talent of the year by Royal Norwegian Consulate General.

I really feel elated and proud for the achievements of my children and my family.

The acknowledgement of my family members be it my daughter or my son means a lot to me.
