I am writing to reach Indians. Now if it fits into the Booker Prize, it's fine. If it doesn't, then what can I do about itIJ It's not a competition with other writers for me. I have to wean the young kids away from YouTube, WhatsApp, Candy Crush and make them read my book.

Books are relatively harder to be made into films. The form, creative calls to be taken from book to screen... it's a bigger challenge. It is also easier to connect with the audience if you make film remakes rather than book adaptations because it is not necessary that everyone has read the book.

If we (Anushka Sharma and him) are seen together somewhere and still people ask ‘is it confirmedIJ', then it is a matter of common sense. If you know then why ask the same question, that is our basic logic behind it. It is something personal.

I wanted to make small and personal cinema. I never intended to be some important Hollywood director. The success of Godfather put me in a different position. I never thought that there should be more than one Godfather. I thought I did everything in the first movie.

I know a lot of celebrities. I've seen them do good, philanthropic work, show up, take a picture, raise a little money, go to a hospital, do their part, be it a minimal one. But my wife really cares about these issues, deeply and personally.
