I would love to direct a documentary film if any good subject comes my way.

My defining moment was when I finally went to Cannes and saw my name along with international filmmakers.

I'm willing to fail, my producers are willing to fail, my crew is willing to fail.

I love writing but it's a real pain. It's a miserable process - very satisfying but very miserable.

— Vikramaditya Motwane

Both 'Udaan' and 'Lootera' were largely rehearsed. With 'Trapped,' I left room for improvisation.

Harshvardhan Kapoor is very sincere, somebody who wears his heart on his sleeve.

Everyone wants their film to do well and I am no different from them.

— Vikramaditya Motwane

I think because of social media and YouTube things are changing. Today people have a judgement about films.

— Vikramaditya Motwane

My earliest childhood memories are just of me falling and getting injuries.

Of all the films that I have directed, I think 'Lootera' is the one that could have been better.

— Vikramaditya Motwane
