What you see in my script may not be what’s in the film. Sometimes it’s a very scary thing, when I have to shoot in the morning and the scene’s not good enough, and it’s only me there, and there’s no signal to even call the others and say, think of a better line. Sriram Raghavan Read Quote
As a filmmaker, I want to bring some value, some thought in the mind of my audience. When I embark on the journey of storytelling, I am an explorer. Sriram Raghavan Read Quote
I do not think that when I write a female character, I intend to reflect my thoughts on gender equality, but I always make sure that my female character is not decorative, they are human, they are good, bad, complex and close to reality. Sriram Raghavan Read Quote
Frankly, you cannot match the action in a Bond or a Bourne film. Forget budgets, it needs an expertise which I probably lacked. Sriram Raghavan Read Quote

The stories I read or get attracted to have a kind of thrill element, or a crime. Sriram Raghavan Read Quote
When I finish my first draft I usually narrate it to some trusted friends who can give me feedback. All criticism is welcome. Sriram Raghavan Read Quote
I believe thrillers work if the story is good. It is not easy to make a thriller because the audience is making their own story in their minds as they watch the film. You have to break that expectation and still make them like the film. Sriram Raghavan Read Quote
