“In the industry, you do need some ethics – if one film does well, then thousands get work and money comes back to the industry.”

Corruption is an issue today, and we faithfully reflect those issues.

Simply that we are mirroring the trends in society, at any given time smuggling was an issue in the seventies.

I have had 50 drinks in one go!

Abroad, they have covered pretty much all subjects, explored every possibility, every twist. So similarities between ideas you have and those filmed abroad are quite possible.

I don’t see the risk, I enjoy performing stunts, and I don’t get scared.

The difference being that in films, unlike in life, good does always win over evil in the end.

To make a film and to sell it to the distributors you need a name.

It gets tiring, doing the same thing everyday.

Today I divide my day between being actor, producer and distributor, and the monotony is broken.

Now, I take my fees in cash, for acting, and keep the distribution thing separate.

You get an image after you act in a film, but it is not necessary that you last long because of that image.

There are two types of films – one made by the big-time producers, the other is low budget stuff made by some producers who make films for the heck of it, they complete their films for small amounts, sell it at low costs with almost no publicity.

By getting into distribution and production, I am actually widening my base.

If the producer gives me a guarantee that he will sell the film at a lower price to the distributors, fair enough, then I will charge less!

So it is fair enough that you are paying me what I ask for, because it is my name you are using to sell the film.

I guess the bottomline is, if there are two versions, then the better one will click.
