issues trends today
Simply that we are mirroring the trends in society, at any given time smuggling was an issue in the seventies, corruption is an issue today, and we faithfully reflect those issues.
different audience south
In the South, it is different, they have a audience that is literate.
two acting cash
Earlier, I used to charge territories instead of my fees as an actor, but I realised it was better to keep the two apart. Now, I take my fees in cash, for acting, and keep the distribution thing separate.
writing giving scripts
As far as I know, if you take your time, write a good script and make a good film, then give the audience time, they will accept it.
believe successful film
I'm going to keep making films I believe in. Whether I am successful or not is besides the point.
two needs doe
In the industry, you do need some ethics - if one film does well, then thousands get work and money comes back to the industry. I guess the bottomline is, if there are two versions, then the better one will click.
ideas twists possibility
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.
media effort lazy
There're so many things I want to do, like become more media savvy. I am too lazy. But I'm making an effort.
broken promise actors
Today I divide my day between being actor, producer and distributor, and the monotony is broken.
two stuff publicity
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.
focus want
I only want to do better work. That's the focus of my life.
good-life winning differences
The difference being that in films, unlike in life, good does always win over evil in the end.
kissing film remakes
If somebody had started on a remake of French Kiss before I announced my own film, I would have dropped my subject. If someone else starts after me, what am I to do?
guarantees-that names giving
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. 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!
