It was 2006. I was shooting my film Corporate but my mind was torn between making commercial films that pay very well and films I believe in like Chandni Bar and Page 3. Almost everybody advised me to go commercial with a vengeance. Around this time, I met BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, on a Delhi-Mumbai flight. He was a good friend and a keen Bollywood enthusiast who had seen all my films. Mahajan told me that I had a select audience and must follow my heart to make films I enjoy. Come to think of it, the advice was simple but I had to hear it from someone I held in such high esteem. Setting aside all doubts, I made Corporate with complete conviction. My only regret is that Mahajan passed away before he could see the movie.
