I don’t have any kind of hidden agenda.” He further mentioned that his only idea to make films is to get audiences entertained. “I make films for people who are willing to pay their hard-earned money on the film ticket. I like to get them entertained, make them feel dramatic about the characters, about the situations, have a good time, go back and live their lives.”

The ace filmmaker also citied that his only goal is to make movies that are larger than life. He said that he likes to make large-than-life characters and larger-than-life situations in his movies and that’s what he is going to do.
