I’ll beg, borrow or steal but make my next film- Rajat Kapoor

Rajat Kapoor`s Ankhon Dekhi (2013) could see the light of the day only after Rajat tweeted about his struggle to get a producer for the film. Manish Mundra eventually backed the movie after reading the actor’s tweet. And now same is happing with his Rajat Kapoor`s next as he is totally unable to find the one who will invest in his upcoming movie. His last film, Ankhon Dekhi, bagged several awards and garnered immense critical acclaim but actor-director Rajat Kapoor has said he is struggling to find a producer for his next slate of scripts. Despite its popularity, Ankhon Dekhi could not make enough money at the box office, which according to Rajat, is an important yardstick for investors. “Everybody loved the film, yet it is funny that I can’t find a producer. It hasn’t become easy for me; I still have to struggle every damn time. It didn’t make enough money. Finally, it is the box office which matters. What people don’t realize is, these things are not in your control. Nobody knows what will or won’t work. My thing is, at least make something that you believe in,” he said. He further says “Why should I spend three years of my life doing something which I don’t enjoy? Eventually, I will make a film that will have my signature on it. Something I and my children will be proud of. But I don’t want to make something I am ashamed of.” "I am ready with three scripts. I have been meeting all kinds of people from all over the world (but things aren't working out). But this year I am going to make it. I promise this year I am going to shoot my next film. I will beg, borrow or steal, mostly steal because begging and borrowing is not working, but I will make it this year," Rajat said.
