Ram Gopal Varma is not having an easy time in Bollywood.
Vickey Lalwani chats him up on the reasons for the downslide
I don’t know what critics are all about. If they know so much, they should be making films themselves. Don’t you crave for compliments? I have been in the film industry for too long. These things don’t influence me. Do you watch your films with the audiences? Never. Once the final mixing is done, I lose my interest in that project. The opening of Nishabd is low considering that it’s a Bachchan flick? I don’t have any experise on gauging and planning an opening to my films based on the star cast. My job is to make a film, which I am excited about. You repeat some of your actors. Planning to make another film with Jiah? No. Nothing as of now.
Actors then leave you and talk against you. Take Manoj Bajpai for example... Firstly, I don’t get into how much my actors are paid. I have a separate department in my office, which looks into that. But as for Manoj—even if he was paid Rs 10, it was too much. And I don’t understand why he said that he considered me to be his brother. Everybody knows that I am an anti-social and not much of a family man. Also, I have screamed from rooftops that I don’t take any actor for an emotional reason. Why do people get emotional about me? Frankly, Manoj Bajpais don’t matter to me in my life. I don’t think he is worth my time talking. And Mohit Ahlawat? What happened between you and him? Let’s not get into what happened between Mohit and me. I wasted enough time and money on Mohit. Mohit and I have mutually decided not to work with each other again. And good for him. I read that he is getting 15 offers every day! (shrugs). Many of your recent films haven’t run. Why? When I decided to get into production, my concentration got diluted. I could not give 100 per cent to my films. So what is the remedy? Right now, I have decided that I will produce only those films, which I will direct. — TWF
