    • Trivia
      Is a staunch supporter of 3D, and his film Delhi Safari (2012) will be the first Indian 3D animated film. He also shot portions of Patiala House (2011) in 3D but decided the technology didn't fit the film and declared he'd like to "correct" Chandni Chowk to China (2009) and convert it to 3D. He also mentioned wanting to see Dhoom (2004) and Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007), two films he wasn't involved in, converted to 3D.
