Sajid's latest release is Ajay Devgn starrerHimmatwala, a remake of 1983 film of the same name starringJeetendra and Sridevi.

"I grew up in this era as a teenager. I am reprising thecinema of 80s, which was one of the least experimenting andboring era of our industry.

"With Himmatwala, I stepped out of comedy genre for thefirst time and entered into drama and action. I don't want tomake films to make a statement. I also don't make film to gainpersonal respect. I would rather feel loved by making popularcinema which makes my audience happy," he said.
