“I do films that affect me, my family, my friends. I need to be affecte...” — Mahesh Manjrekar Quote

I don't try to find similarities with my characters because then it becomes difficult to act.

I don't get hassled when I am doing a role that looks idiotic to me.

I don't think anyone, no matter what, can find perfect happiness until they understand exactly who they are and how every little thing they do can affect the world around them. I think perfect happiness would be a world where everyone is constantly striving to understand everyone else.

The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.

Onstage or in films, you do affect peoples' lives, and sometimes that's very gratifying. But still, there's this little voice that says you should be doing something that matters.

I have no faith in the justice system so I don't let anything affect me.
