'One of the dignified aspects of their relationship is that Hema reportedly told Dharamji that she would never disturb his first family.'
'I believe that whether it is Rajini sir or Shah Rukh Khan or Dilip Kumarsaab, these stars are blessed with a cosmic energy. It's a phenomenon that is hard to describe, but it makes you fall in love with them.'
'I have always broken my image every time I went on screen. I don't know what it means to be a Greek God but people used to call me one.'
'I make films which I think have the possibility of being liked by a majority of people, and you present it with the right emotions.'
