In our time producers were the main pillar of any show.
I'm a producer at heart. I like being in the control room and directing people. That's what I do. But I've gotten on the mic a few times in my career; people seem to like it, so I'll do it again here and there. But that's really not my thing.
As a producer, it's your job to bang on the table and convince studio heads why great movies should be made.
Luckily, for me, my first producer Sajid Nadiadwala treats both Tiger Shroff and me like his kids. He's very protective.
Our role as producers is mainly limited to borrowing money from friends when we run short of cash.
The best thing about being a film producer is I get to spend 99 per cent of my time behind the scenes.
The script is the musical score, and everyone has to play off that score. Even I have to interpret it. The producers are there to eliminate obstacles to that interpretation.
I think when it comes to television as opposed to film, the producers really are the writers. We work with people who are purely financial producers.
