As a director, you must be prepared that if you produce a picture about planes, it will be dubbed Top Gun since they have no reference point, leading them to feel that we are not innovative and would do things that are a rip-off. We need to start treating our films with greater respect and stop believing that everything is being ripped off. people in the West are motivated by information made in the East."
He went on to say, "I have many instances lately also where I did some sequences, and those sequences were similar to a film that came out later, a very very big franchise film in the West."

You only need to add an X-factor that makes it unique."
