I`m not being choosy, there were no good offers: Suniel Shetty

New Delhi, Aug 17: Actor Suniel Shetty says that he`s doing fewer movies these days because he hasn`t got any exciting offers, not because he has become finicky about roles."The truth is that since the last year or so, I haven`t got good film offers at all. Trash was coming to me in the name of scripts. I am not insecure that I would go for any role. I`m in a position now that I don`t need to compromise," Suniel told reporters in an interview. The actor also talked about the nearly two-year break he took from films. "I took a sabbatical for a year and a half and that is when people in the industry realised my worth. I have some good films now, both as an actor and a producer, and I am very happy." Suniel turned producer in 2003 with his own production banner "Popcorn Motion Pictures". His first two productions were "Khel" and "Rakht", which turned out to be box-office duds. He then took a much-needed break and returned with comedy film "Bhagam Bhag" in 2006 that turned out be a big hit. Though his latest venture with Apoorva Lakhia - "Mission Istanbul" - did not fare well, Suniel said that he had no plans of quitting as a producer. "Popcorn Motion Pictures is my obsession. I started my career as a businessman with a restaurant and garment business. But Suniel Shetty - the businessman - can take over only movies and not any other venture," said the actor who was here to launch his fashion apparel house `Crossover Bollywood Se`. Suniel, who entered filmdom as an action hero with "Balwaan" (1992), feels that the dynamics of action in films have changed over the years. He said: "Action has risen to a different level. Today it is mostly special effects. We used to perform our stunts on our own and today the actors use all kinds of props. There lies a difference between men and boys now." But the 47-year-old actor, known for his macho image, couldn`t stop praising the women who performed daring stunts in action reality show "Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi" that was hosted by Akshay Kumar. "After watching the show, I think guys should stop talking about action and start getting inspired from women," he remarked. Asked how he had evolved as an actor over the 16 years he`s worked in Bollywood, Suniel said: "I`ve learnt a lot. Today I understand my character. I have tried my hand at everything from action, romance to comedy. I`m the only actor to have worked with over 90 directors and different roles." He added: "Money comes last and self-respect comes first for me. I want to have goodwill in the industry. I`m only looking forward to people appreciating my work in the future." His future projects as a producer include "EMI", "Mumbai Chaka Chak" and "Loot". And as an actor he would be seen in films like "Paathshaala", "Chai Garam", "Blue", "Daddy Cool", "Red Alert - The War Within" and "International Hera Pheri". IANS
