Earlier, I did sing for 'Kaante' and a couple of other films but I had never done rap before. Marathi rap is something new and I enjoyed it.

I like to sing but I am nothing great.

I don't see cinema suffering because of OTT. We should not lose our sleep thinking OTT will finish the future of cinema halls, it won't.

Only good performers get to work with me.

People feel I only make films on underworld, but that's not true.

Bollywood is never going to take a backseat for me because I have nothing against it. But I have decided that I make at least one Marathi film a year.

Most South Indians are very loyal to their local language cinema. This is not the case with Marathis.

The fight to grab eyeballs for Marathi films is intense because a majority of Maharashtrians speak Hindi and there's no undivided loyalty to their native language among them.

'Slumdog Millionaire' was as good or as bad any Bollywood film. If I had to rate it, I would give it just 5.5 points out of 10. Unlike others, I am not gung-ho about the film winning so many Oscars. Yes, I am happy that I was a part of the project, but I am yet to figure out why it got so many Oscars.

I am not a bad actor but a smart actor and I have exhausted my smartness now.
