In an interview with MTV's podcast Happy Sad Confused, the "Vice" helmer said his take on the project would be similar to that of Wachowskis sister's "Speed Racer". "Silver Surfer is the one I want to do, man. I would do anything to do Silver Surfer because, visually, you could do what the Wachowskis did with 'Speed Racer' with the Silver Surfer," the 50-year-old director said.

He said the death of a cow was being given importance over killing of a policeman. "What I said earlier was as a worried Indian. I have said this earlier as well.

If they have the right to criticise, then I also have the same right. I am expressing concerns about the country I love, the country that is my home. How is that a crime?" he asked. Shah was .
