Sajid Khan

You know that Sajid Khan is a brand name and that you will get a family entertainer from him. I will never change that.

There is always pressure. If you make a flop film then you are under pressure to make a hit film. If you make a hit film then you are under pressure to surpass your own standard or at least deliver another hit because the audience also has expectations.

I think Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh are two gifted, talented comic actors who can pull off anything.

If you are a good actor then you are good at comedy.

The biggest superstar of our country is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, who I feel is the most gifted comedian of all times.

Maybe one day I could make a film which works at the box-office and the critics also like it.

I don't think I can create films just for critics. It's just not me.

I do not why the critics don't like my work. I guess I do not make films that they like.

Among close friends and family members, I say whatever I want to. But, as a filmmaker, I have my responsibilities, and I have to look at so many things at the time of finalizing a script.

One has to be careful about the kind of content that's shown in films or on television.

There are so many times where I may share a dirty joke or laugh at one, but the due restriction has to be there in one's head when it comes to the larger audience.

I realized I have to be politically correct and easy. I was taking myself too seriously, I had become rude.

People think I am arrogant, I don't think so. I cannot be arrogant at all... I am basically a lower middle class person by heart.

I have broken a lot of hearts, I have lied, I have cheated, I have deceived, like most of the guys do. But I was on television, I was getting successful, I was getting brasher. I was treating women very badly.

All the nice girls in my life I have treated badly.

My training ground has been my interest in watching movies. Unlike most other directors, I haven't assisted anyone.

Sajid Nadiadwala has been the strongest guiding light in my life. He and Farah are the only two people who I give full freedom to slap me in public, and I will keep my head down because they are my elder brother and sister.

There were lots of perceptions about me, right from being gay to casting couch to being a drunkard to getting violent, none of what I am in real life.

When 'Himmatwala' didn't work, the negativity factor attached to the reviews were more pointed towards me. That's when I realized, that something has gone wrong.

I am not arrogant but yes I am rude.
