You have completed 15 years in the industry. Are you satisfied with the way your career has shaped up? 

It has been a sinusoidal wave, so there have been crests and there have been ups. Overall, it’s been a great journey, a fantastic one.

And after 15 years, you are here as an actor and a producer. 

I didn’t get to see or do the films that I really wanted to. So, it was important for me to produce and make the non-formula films that are still very commercial, like Vicky Donor, Madras Café, like a Parmanu now. It’s not about how much money the film earns.
