It's fun when you start a movie because it's kind of like you get to go Christmas shopping... you get to make your wish list and you start thinking about what each character needs.

The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.

India is known for its sobriety and wisdom balanced and sensible thinking. We need strong institutions and we need good governance in the country.
