I would be lying if I said I did not feel bad when 'Shamitabh' failed, but I was proud to be associated with a film like this. If it were easy to know the pulse of the audience, then all movies would be blockbusters.
I'm happy that the kind of films I'm doing right now is reaching a wider audience, and I'm looking forward to direct Hindi films as well.
While shooting for 'Kodi' at Pollachi, I got this new idea for 'VIP 2'.
I never wanted to let go of the opportunity, and so I hit upon 'VIP 2'.
Apart from 'VIP' being a blockbuster movie, the various characters such as mine, the Luna bike I use in the movie, the lovable amma and appa, a pet dog named Harry Potter, the innocent brother, etc., had a huge reach among the audiences.
What I didn't expect was 'VIP' becoming something of a cult and one of my biggest hits.
