An encounter with movie veteran Chandrashekhar.
'I haven't experienced such a thing ever. It was beautiful.'
'As an actor, it gave me such a great role that after that whatever, work I was offered, it was never fulfilling.'
'After the shoot, I was like, "Yeh maine kiya hai?"'
'Directors like Buddhada don't tell you, "Do this, do that." They just guide you and you get it right.'
'Buddhada became such a confidante, friend, philosopher and guide in my life.'
'I wanted to know whether I should stay in Paris or do something else, and in less than a week, I got the call for The Last Hour.'
'...it didn't make sense to me.' 'If the character was not adding (to the story), I wasn't interested.' 'The reason why I chose to act is because of the way it makes me feel when I'm acting, not for the fame and money.'
'I come from a small town and I never thought I would ever sing professionally or become a playback singer.' 'But I made a career here.'
'Somewhere, I have to be true to myself. At this point in life, I am more interested in human drama.'
'The first one has done what it needs to do.' 'I'm sure there's going to be a stronger wave.' 'Anybody who thinks #MeToo has gone and they are off the hook are fooling themselves'

'I could not adjust to the way they treat you.' 'They expect certain things from you, which I was not comfortable with.' 'Like, they expect you to wear a certain kind of clothes, even if you don't want to wear that.' 'They'll be like, just wear it, because it's such a male-dominated industry.'
'I don't know if I became an actor, I was just trying to book jobs and survive.'
'My father never saw any success for me. 'When I meet him in the next world, I will proudly say that I didn't buy houses and cars, but I made some art that will hopefully stand the test of time.'
'Amitabh Bachchan Sir said some nice and encouraging things about the trailer, the way I directed it and, of course, about Abhishek's performance.'
'There are only two religions in this country: Films and cricket.' 'These two religions will unite all religions.' 'And that only happens in a cinema hall.'
'Deepak's character is not an out and out sexual predator.' 'I liked the way it was done because I felt it was more real, rather than a more dramatic take where a girl feels that oh, I must fight for my rights.'
'Anger comes from a sense of righteousness, when you believe that you are right.' 'Nothing makes me angry.'
'D Company is obviously not a registered company, but the way he organised it, with his kind of vision, which finished the Pathan gang and the older members.'
