I am a producer and actor too in the film, and I looking after a lot of Salman Khan’s coordination’s and other things, so there the responsibility for me is more. Here I am working as an actor, I come and work, I only concentrate on my character. For the talk show, it is quite a breeze. I finish it within an hour or so, we shoot the whole thing within two hours, start to finish. Dabangg 3 is a big responsibility”

So I think digital is the way to go, it is only going to get bigger and better. If you compare it with the west and how it has grown, we probably must in infant stages right now, but we’re going to go the same level, sooner or later. We will soon have big series made, great content and great talent, who will work in it, people like actors, directors, technicians and a lot more. Even the budgets are going to go very big” “See it digital space is going to be a reality and co-exist with cinema, and that is something we all will have to live with” he added.
