I don't make movies for pseudo-intellectuals. I don't want them to watch my films.

Romance on the screen happens even with people who do not have off-screen chemistry. To bring that out from them is my job.

When I did a film with Salman Khan, he used to get up at 5 in the morning for shoots. If I can handle Salman then I think nobody in the industry is a problem.

I thank my dad for giving me a good exposure to comedy since childhood. He was a librarian and I would read a lot of comics.
