A Quote by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

We never extrapolate: In 1988, my net worth was Rs 1 crore and 1993, it was Rs 200 crore, this does not mean that in 2000, it is going to be Rs 800 crore. In 2002 also, my net worth was Rs 250 crore. We cannot extrapolate things. You take success with paranoia and it is always transient and temporary.
I cannot put pressure on myself that I have delivered a Rs 100 crore film and now I have to give it again or it will not be successful. Films that earn Rs 50 crore or Rs 60 crore are successful, too.
I want to my films to make Rs 200 crore and Rs 300 crore also, but I have to be reasonable.
My government had taken up infrastructure projects worth Rs 320 crore and drinking water and drainage schemes worth Rs 23 crore in the constituency.
This is my life... I mean, maybe I have Rs 100 crore in the bank, sitting comfortably. If that increases to Rs 10,000 crore, what difference does it make to me.
Every year, I have given Rs 20,000 crore worth of projects to HAL. But the previous UPA government gave just Rs 10,000 crore projects.
A 5-acre school each in Noida and Gurgaon is what we have; it costs Rs. 50 crore to buy the land and another Rs. 50 crore to build the property. That's the capital cost alone.
'Dasavatharam' is science fiction, a multi-crore budgeted film worth Rs 50 to 60 crore and ahead of its time.
Of course, an Oscar nomination would have added considerably to the film's business abroad. But it has already made nearly Rs 150 crore. It has done stupendous business overseas. We did a business of Rs 80 crore when we took 'Devdas' to Cannes.
In 2006, the DMK gave television sets worth Rs 2,000, but collected Rs 3,000 for cable connection from each household. By this, the DMK leaders have earned Rs 25,000 crore of income.
It's not necessary that every film has to hit Rs 100 crore box office, or the Rs 50 crore budget. If the film makes double of its project budget, we consider that a hit, and that also means that the film is in profit.
We started the 10/10 objective in 2011, and that time, our turnover was about Rs. 15,000 crore. We would like to have a turnover of Rs. 1,50,000 crore by 2021. This will be through high growth in domestic and international operations as well as through acquisitions.
When it comes to spending the rest of your life with someone, you should do it with a friend. It doesn't matter if that person is illiterate, educated or earns Rs 10 or Rs 10 crore. Eventually, these things don't matter.
One thing which keeps me apart is that I have got guts. I may have Rs 1,000 in my bank but if I think the deal is worth a crore - I will do it.
I would never want to do a content-driven film with a box office life of Rs 20 crore.
I have decided to contribute Rs 1 crore to Kerala. I am feeling very disheartened to see people suffering there.
'Radio' was made at a budget of Rs 6 crore. Thankfully, the money invested in making the film was recovered through music.
