I will never make a big budget film for the sake of making a big budget film. People say they are making a film on a Rs 16 crore budget. When I ask them the story, they say they are still working on it. They don't have a script, but they have a budget!

If my film demands Rs 10 crore, I will spend it. Jism could have been made in Rs 8 crore. But did it really require that much? Because you didn't miss the money on the film when you watch it. It was made on a Rs 3 crore budget. It was shot in Pondicherry. It did not require big sets because I required a heighten sense of reality.

Tomorrow, if I were interested in spending, I would love to make an animation film, a period film or a fantasy film like Sindabad the sailor or the Arabian Nights.
