The World Motivation
I had seen 'Pithamagan' at the big screen in 2003. I was moved by the story and especially the character played by Vikram.

I have always tried to play significant characters and have never done cheap comedy.
Indian film industry has shot films all over the world and we get a lot of benefits and facilities while shooting our films in foreign locations.
Writing 'Mayanagri' was not an easy task.
I have done 16 films with David Dhawan and I have tried to do every character differently, be it Sharafat Ali, Mutthu Swamy or Calender, because of my theatre experience.
When you walk into the cinema you have to switch your phones off, you get involved with the big screen, you cry with the film, you laugh with the film. It actually drives the message home far stronger than when you quickly see it on your phone.
When you show people on the big screen that could be our next-door neighbour or our cousin, it does have an impact on our lives.
You can't stop people watching on mobiles, but I hope the old fashioned idea of sitting in a dark room with a big screen with a group of strangers lives on forever.
When I was old enough to go to movies alone, I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.
I always hope that people feel less alone when they see a movie that I make. That some part of the story played out on the big screen will resonate for individuals in the audience in a way that gives them comfort.
