“Expenditure can't really guarantee a great experience. I don't even like shoppin…” — Imtiaz Ali

I enjoy looking beyond the obvious and look at the stories happening all around me - you kind of formulate things in your mind and get excited about them.

I was called to audition for a play when I was very young, following which I continued to act as well as write and direct. When I moved to Delhi and joined Hindu College, theatre became a very big part of my life.

I am a keen observer of my own films; I also try to discover myself through the movies I make.

I used to love Kapil Dev and, like any schoolboy, wanted to become a cricketer till I started dreaming of making movies.
