Since I am a film student now, I wish I was working with them (the good directors) again, because now probably I will be seeing it from a different light. I talk to Kamalji, though we're working, whenever I get the opportunity. Without breaking his concentration, without interfering with his thought process, I try to get as much feedback from him about my ideas about the film and the scriptwriting process.
So if I was working again with Mani (Ratnam), I would do much more than just acting well in his film.
Mani, in my eyes, is the director who has consistently tried to make a different style of cinema. I'm more in tune with his style. It dabbles with a realistic touch and fiction -- he imbibes them together very well. Yuva didn't do well, but I thought it was a brilliant film.

Very few of my films have been actually 'good' films. I've done fifty odd films, and out of those I think only eight or nine are films I'd actually call good. Khamoshi, 1942 A Love Story, Akele Hum Akele Tum, Dil Se…, Bombay, parts of Saudagar are fantastic, (also) Company.
Basically there are only very few good directors. Maybe five or six. And then I think basically in every actor or actresses' career, even if you get four or five good films then you should be proud. And the ratio just speaks about the kind of films that you want to make.
It's not to sound derogatory or whatever, but maybe it's because of my own choices. I think I've signed bad films hoping they'd turn out to be good. So I guess I've been outnumbered by bad films.
