Rajkumar Hirani: Anyone who gives you money will want an ounce of blood
Raju Hirani explains how conflict, of almost all kinds, is simply a difference of points of view, and how, despite being a bit of an activist at heart, he's not trying to change the world When 3 Idiots released, Aamir said in an interview to us that "there is an 'innate goodness' in Raju Hirani which reflects in the cinema he makes. As a person, as a director, he shows you even negative characters with warmth". What's this innate goodness all about? (Laughs) Maine toh khud kabhi nahin kaha ki main bahut achha hoon. I've been making films that come from within. This is the kind of cinema I've liked, the kind of cinema that I've enjoyed. Hrishikesh Mukherjee ki filmein dekhta thaa, woh zyaada...
