Quotes from Sajid Nadiadwala

I have watched 'Rocky' many times.

All my films have been larger-than-life. And since I've sat on almost all the scripts of the films I've produced, I do not compromise on aesthetics and visuals that could add to a scene.

My only problem is that I'm too sensitive about my movies. I feel each of them has to work and consider every film as my last one.

When we produced 'Highway,' Imtiaz Ali and I planned it as a quick small experimental film, while we waited for Ranbir Kapoor's dates later during the year.

I was confident about the potential of 'Baaghi 2' when I greenlit it, but the final product has blown me away.

I worked with Salman even when he was not doing so well, so now that he is successful, people think I have an agenda.

We were shooting at the Kodak Theatre and to see my production company's clap board in front of Sylvester Stallone was overwhelming, I had to pinch myself. It was a magical moment. It was a different high.

After I read the story of 'Dangal' and before the film released, I called director Nitish Tiwari asking him if he had any good script. He told me to wait for some time. So we had three-four sittings, and this film, 'Chhichhore,' came to him. The film did not have superstars, but I felt that this is the script that needs to be told.

I have always made films with actors who became superstars.

The youth doesn't know what they want while the older generation remains stuck in the past. But the basic concept of entertainment remains the same - demand and supply - and that won't change.

Festive seasons are good for releases, but we have to leave some festival dates for other producers to release their films as well. We cannot take away all the holiday releases.

'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali' is a film with a very different approach and we are sure the audience will love to see Salman in the avatar we have planned.

Filmmaking is a passion for me. Plus, that is what I do to make a living.

Twofour54 is fantastic, it's a great organization, and the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, too - they are great ambassadors for Abu Dhabi.

When I write my autobiography after 20-25 years, I want 2014 to be the weakest year of my life.

Film-making, in itself, is such a risky, costly-yet-uncertain business that despite being wealthy, 90 percent of people don't become producers.

You tell me, why would I make 'Housefull 4' if I had any doubts about the popularity of the series? In fact, the collections are better than the earlier films in the series.

My pride is the length of time I have worked in the industry without any major controversy.

It is easy to cross 100 Crores these days but it takes a lot of efforts to creep towards the next number that is 200.

They have accepted me as a big debut Bollywood director. So, I should write something brilliant.

In essence, big stars come with a set image, and breaking it becomes a task for certain stories.

I produced 'Highway' and 'Chhichhore' for creative satisfaction.

When I see my movies on the editing table, I do think I could have done them a certain way. The satisfaction is never there even when I'm directing a film. You need to have the feeling that you could have done this better.

Directing a film is a lot of physical work.
