Vikram Bhatt

I've had enough off-screen romances and now I'm happy being socially and emotionally challenged, on and off camera.

In a horror film the protagonist should be vulnerable enough for audience to be worried about him. You can't have a six feet boxer and expect audience to worry about him.

The script of 'Shaapit' was such that the leading man couldn't be shown indulging into anything heroic.

I do believe that there are some films that cannot be made without stars.

When I saw 'Ankahee,' I was very moved. I felt broken inside.

I think people will discover themselves in 'Ankahee.'

I feel 'Ankahee' is a very honest film. It says that in a relationship where there are three people, everybody is doomed. Nobody comes out happy.

With my grey hair and workaholic attitude, I can't imagine being hot by any standard.

I've put my days of fantasy behind me and make authentic realistic films.

You can't afford to be afraid of failure in this business.

When I started my career, I gave four flops, and then four hits, two flops, two hits, and then three flops.

The magazines are always full of something or other about me.

We should vote for an individual rather than a party.

Let's get our civic laws right and abide by them.

When certain stars take you under their wing, it does help as they gauge your potential and are willing to work with you.

Our cinema is star-based, while Hollywood is script-based.

Stupidly, in our industry, producers pay precious money to sign stars whom they might not even use in the film. Producers believe stars make hits; actually it is the script that makes a film successful.

The Indian film industry does not believe in investing financial resources in scripts.

In Hollywood, they create banks of scripts, whether they are used or not.

Is democracy about living in fear? Is that what our forefathers fought the British for?
