“If I work with Shah Rukh, it will be as an actor, not a star. Whenever I have thought of making a film with some star in mind, I've abandoned the film in a few weeks.”

“Often I would get offers to remake films and that didn't interest me. I have no interest in remaking a film in Hindi which has been made in the south already. I prefer adapting from a book than a movie.”

“Badlapur' is a drama, a character-driven story. It is not so much about plot.”

“I lived for two years in an abandoned gas station with no running water and no electricity after my parents got divorced and my stepdad couldn't get a job. So I think a lot about families like mine who were middle class and struggled. So that experience really drives my philosophy.”

“I'm always the kid who is going to be finding out if there is a cemetery or an abandoned amusement park that I can go visit as opposed to the beach, so it wasn't too much of a stretch to get me to the world of Ninth House.'”
