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

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.

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!

In the South, it is different, they have a audience that is literate.

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.

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

I never talk about my personal life. After these rumours, I definitely do not want to comment on anything.
