Tell me, how many films do well every year? If you ask this question in today's times, you will not get an answer. You never know what will work! Formulas are not working. Actors have only two-three hits in their career. I guess I chose the wrong filmmakers, and that's why my films have not done well.
I have done the meatiest of roles in films but still, they didn't work. So I've decided that I will never do a role if my producers don't have money to publicise my films.
If I have put in so much energy in a film, I want to be seen. How do you do that? If you work with established co-stars, directors and producers. I used to think acting was all about being creative, but that is not true.
I have realised that besides acting, marketing is also very important. I have learnt a lot from my earlier films.
