All that we execute is what we have learnt from my gurus, Raj Kapoor, Satyajit Ray, Billy Wilder, Hrishida, Yash uncle, Spielberg are just a few of the teachers I have had. I learn from them all the time."

"Your team also makes all the difference. I had a great team. A director is nothing without those who work with him on realizing a vision. Every film teaches you. From some you learn just a little bit more. This was a 9 minute film but it just said so much," he concludes.
