"When Mukesh Chhabra came to me, I gave him four songs in two days. He told me, ''Sir, how many people said don't go, don’t go to him and they told me stories after stories.' I heard that, and I realised, yeah okay, now I understand why I am doing less work in Hindi films and why the good movies are not coming to me. I am doing dark movies, because there is a whole gang working against me, without them knowing that they are harming.''

He further added, ''People are expecting me to do stuff, but there is another gang of people preventing that from happening. It is fine, because I believe in destiny, and I believe that everything comes from God. So, I am taking my movies and doing my other stuff. But all of you are welcome to come to me. Make beautiful movies, and you are welcome to come to me.''
