to her strict enforcement of discipline]. You gave her a responsibility and poor thing if a crane took away some influential guy's car, it's not her fault! It is the law, the law should be same for everybody.
On the films he wants to do:
I want to do films like Tamas, Ardh Satya, Drohkal, Aakrosh, Discovery of India...
These are the kind of films I want to do but it is not in my hands. I have to choose from what I am offered. Like Dhoop. It was based on a true story of young soldier who was killed in Kargil. His father was given a petrol pump in his memory and had to go through the bureaucracy to get it because everybody wanted money. He refused to pay a penny. Finally, he got fed up, went to the prime minister and told him -- 'I have given my son for the country and this is what happened to me. You can take your petrol pump back, I don't want it.' Fourteen people were suspended.
It's a serious film, the producers didn't have much money to publicise it, it wasn't distributed very well, but at least your government, your national awards -- they could have at least mentioned the film? I'm not saying technically, it's a super film but it's a film that speaks the conscience of its people, talks about the harsh realities so at least it should have been mentioned. Maybe some people would have heard of it and seen it on DVD, VCD -- there are wonderful performances.
