Actor-turned-producer Anil Kapoor has quite a few films under his belt, and says he stays true to the script given by the writer. He never tries to change or meddle with it.
“You have to be true to the script. When I made Gandhi My Father, I was true to the script. I didn’t think about its commercial value. Whether it is a commercial film, a mainstream film or a good script, you just have to be convinced,” the 53-year-old said on Sunday.
“I am one of those producers, who when likes a script, leaves it to the director — he makes the story. I really don’t interfere in the film,” he added.
Anil turned producer with Badhaai Ho Badhaai in 2002 and later produced films like My Wife’s Murder, Aisha and No Problem besides Gandhi My Father.
Anil believes that actors are in need of good scriptwriters to further their career.
“The time has come when scriptwriters will overshadow the actors because actors also need the scripts. In fact, that’s the first thing they want,” he said.
