Mujhe lagta hai ki jab bhi aapko kisi film ka sequel banane ka mauka milta hai, toh yeh ek bade saubhagya ki baat hai. Iska matlab yeh hai ki logon ne use dil se apnaya hai aur ve is safar ko aage badhte dekhna chahte hain.
I feel like every time you get to make a sequel, it's a privilege. It means that people have embraced it and want the journey to continue.

Aage badhte rehne se hi hum ant mein khud ko thoda aur behtar tarike se jaan paate hain.
We ultimately get to know ourselves a little bit better by pushing forward.

Maine ek filmmaker banne ka faisla isliye liya kyunki main aise vishyon par kaam karna chahta tha jo mujhe aakarshit karte the, jo mujhe prasangik lagte the, aur jo ek sarthak baat-cheet ki shuruat kar sakte the.
I became a filmmaker because I wanted to deal with issues that intrigued me, that I thought were pertinent, that would start dialogue.

Agar aap kisi aisi film mein sirf goro (white) kalakaron ko lete hain aur woh box office par nahi chalti, toh koi yeh nahi kahega ki aisa isliye hua kyunki aapki cast mein sabhi gora log the.
If you cast an all-white movie and it doesn't do well, no one will say it's because you had an all-white cast.

Jis baat par aap vishwas karte hain, uska samarthan karna behad zaroori hai.
It is very important to support what you believe in.

Mujhe lagta hai ki ummeed ki woh kiran ek chote bachche ke roop mein bhi mere andar kahin na kahin bani rahi, jise main pakad kar rakh saka.
I think ultimately that sense of hope is something that even as a little kid I was able to kind of grab onto.

Studio ko khush rakhne ki ek alag hi chinta bani rehti hai. Aap unhe yeh sabit karna chahte hain ki aap yeh kar sakte hain aur kai baar aap kisi aise project mein kood padte hain jisse aapko sach mein koi lagav nahi hota.
There's an anxiety of wanting to please the studios. You want to prove to them that you can do it and sometimes you might jump at a project that you're not totally passionate about.

Agar aap kisi behad vividh (diverse) cast ko aage late hain, uske liye ladte hain aur woh safal nahi hoti—aur ho sakta hai uski nakamyabi ke kuch aur karan hon—toh aapko turant baahar ka rasta dikha diya jayega kyunki aapne us faisle ke liye apni gardan dao par lagayi thi.
If you put forth a really diverse cast and you fight for it and it doesn't do well - and it may fail for other reasons - you're gone because you stuck your neck out for that decision.
