Kabir Khan: unplugged

Kabir Khan: unplugged

"Locations are my item numbers."

"90 per cent of our mainstream women characters are regressive. Just the way you frame a woman is politics."

"The India-Pakistan relationship is a schizophrenic one. For people to people friendships, you have to see people as not a part of the amorphous whole but as individuals. And that's what I did with Bajrangi Bhaijaan."

"If I make a film about a character named Ram Rahim, you can't stop me from giving my film the title Ram Rahim."

"I am not less of a Muslim because I don't have a long beard, wear a skull cap or that I say Jai Shri Ram"

"The trailer of the film is make or break. If your first step goes wrong, you're only doing damage control. You can't reclaim lost time."

"I told Ayan (Mukerji) before the release of his film that I am very similar to Kabir in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. I was always out of the house. I lost my father before I made my first Bollywood film."

"When I was called to Yash Raj Films because they wanted to produce Kabul Express, I thought they were pulling a prank on me."

"Salman Khan never crossed the line. There was no badtameezi. He would argue and sometimes he even sulked and did the shot. But there was no feeling of do it my way or don't do it at all."

"I feel like an outsider to the industry even today, even after working with big stars and making blockbusters."

"You can forgive a shoddy screenplay, bad acting but you cannot forgive bad politics of a film."

"The brothel scene in Bajrangi Bhaijaan was a very emotional one for me."

"90 per cent of the people reporting the (box-office) numbers don't even know the difference between the gross and the net earnings of a film."

"I think that none of these TV show appearances help the film at all and can't change the fate of the film and only helps the TRPs of the shows."

"Bajrangi Bhaijaan explores the borders within our country. It is the most political film I have made till date."
