Sajid Khan reveals how he gets stars to work in his films

How does a man so obsessed with movies make such utterly nonsensical, farcical films? Sajid Khan's answer is ready- because they are funny and entertaining.

"I don't want to bore the audience." Well he's right, his films are hysterical and if you have even a little funny bone, you'll laugh.

He didn't get two back-to-back comic successes by making people cry and critics don't count as 'people'.

The bigger question is how did he pitch the script to convince his actors to work on a film which no doubt sounds absurd on paper?

"I just tell them listen, your last two films haven't done well, do you want a hit? (laughs) I don't care about critics. This movie will be a hit, you'll be liked, your price will go up, your fan following will go up, so they say OK."

The confidence bordering on arrogance he exudes is another thing he has in common with the great Chaplin but that's not where it ends.

Chaplin believed that no subject was out of bounds. Sajid has a penchant for poking fun at all the traditionally taboo topics.

From the black community to regional eccentricities to homosexuals because nothing is no go when it comes to humour.

But can homosexual innuendos in his film come from a straight man? "I am not gay. If I was I'd come out. I'm the carrier of truth."

Sajid draw parallels between Bollywood and politics. "You abuse each other, next day you form a coalition or work together, there are no permanent friendships or enmities."
