Asked at a promotion of his forthcoming film Phantom if he expected a similar kind of collection like his record-breaking Bajrangi Bhaijaan, he said: "All wish that they earn good collections at the box-office but we don't make films with the sole intention of numbers.
"A film should be successful according to its budget. And if you feel that every film should touch a certain number, then we'll make the same kind of films, which I didn't want. As a director, I want to make different kinds of films. All films should be successful, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was successful and I want similar success for Phantom."
