Quote by A. R. Rahman

“We didn't want to do that. It would have been a beautiful moment in the movie but it would have brought the movie down. So Danny's vision was perfect I think when he wanted it to be driven at the same time having this new emotion about this boy coming as a hallucination or like a déjà vu and as the future kid.”

“I was pretty nervous when I met Robert Kirkman. It's very strange to meet someone who created you.

“I went to London to do the stuff. I was like "What am I going to do? What's going to happen?" But then once you start working, you forget all that and you start enjoying what you're doing.

That's my theory of doing a movie.”
