Quotes: |
“ The human element is the first thing that we should put in a big movie. When you talk about larger-than-life movies, that human element binds everything together. “ “ I never thought I would direct a film one day. It just happened because I was trying to write a story for someone else, and it led me here. “ “ I believe audiences connect more with emotion than logic. You give them a reason to root for a character emotionally, and they will follow him anywhere. “ “ Violence is just a narrative tool in KGF. What really drives the film is ambition and emotion. “ “ I don’t believe in making pan-India films. I believe in making honest stories. If the story is true to its emotion, it will reach across languages “ |
