Our Industry has been bitten by the 100 crore club
Our Bollywood stars who talk of being part of 100 crore films, I think I belong to the 1,000 crore club.
I don't believe in the 100 crore club.
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 don't believe in Rs. 100 crore club, I only believe that the producer should make money.
Jokes apart, people are constantly asking me, 'What are you doing for the industry?' When one makes a blockbuster, you plough back money into the industry. If my film makes 100 crore, I'm not taking the entire sum home! It gets distributed between the exhibitors, distributors, producers and actors.
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.
The kind of films being made, that are called experimental, only happens when the industry is confident enough for them to work and I believe that soon we will see a 100 crore blockbuster Punjabi film.
A box-office number is good for a producer and the industry to keep the turnover game on, but as an actor, I give importance to script. I will turn down a script, even if it guarantees Rs. 100 crore, when I'm not convinced with it.
All my films have been criticised, but here I stand with six superhits and three 100-crore films!
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 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 don't believe in any crore club.
I don't think I'm capable enough to make 100-crore films.
The population of Hindus is 100 crore. So obviously India is a Hindu Rashtra.
I have been part of really good projects which I'm extremely proud of and 'Chhichhore' will stand tall among my body of work. This is my first Rs 100 crore film and I know I will cherish this moment always.
I think everyone respects Rock. He's obviously been in our industry his entire life in some form or fashion. He's a guy that works really hard, and most of our performers can appreciate that one way or another, whether it's in the movie industry or our industry.
