The rousing reception that Agneepath received over the four-day weekend has made its director Karan Malhotra a talent to reckon with. Malhotra, who is still reeling from the film's super success, talks to Subhash K Jha about his inspiration, and future plans.

Has Mr Amitabh Bachchan seen your Agneepath? So far he hasn't. I am hoping he would very soon. He has been traveling. Does the overwhelming response to your film put an added responsibility on your shoulders? Yes. Now, I have to deliver an even bigger film next time. I am doing my next film for Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, that's for sure.
