Article Updated 23 March, 2005 03:05:06 PM IST   'Inshallah, I will bounce back', says Arbaaz Khan By Vickey Lalwani ©2005 Bollyvista.com   It's being said that you have become arrogant, haughty? I know there are some people who are saying this. I am not arrogant. I don't know how to prove it. It's being said that you are charging more than you should... Hold on! I can't charge lesser than a certain limit. People who are saying this have no economic sense. There have been films which I have refused because the producers did not consent to Pay to the price I asked for. But the price they were offering was substandard. How did you know that people are saying these things about you? I started off my career with 'Daraar' directed by Abbas Mastaan. They are very close to me. When I met them recently, they said they were hearing such things about me. I want to know who is the originator of this loose talk. Is proving to be Salman's brother proving to be a bane in terms Of getting work? I don't think that being Salman's brother is the reason why I ain't happening. Comparisons are inevitable. But considering the fact that Salman is so good and helpful to most people in the industry, it should be the other way round. Were films like 'Garv' and 'Wajaah' a mistake? Sometimes the characters are not projected as strongly as they are narrated. Was doing 'Karishma- The Miracles Of Destiny' on Sahara a mistake? We had a contract that I'd be utilized for 70 episodes. But I wasn't. I was attracted by the television media. But working in 'Karishma...' sort of changed my mind. Will you do more television? Hmmm... only if the role is meaty. I don't want to play a son or son-in-law who stands in the backdrop in a saas-bahu saga. You mean that you don't want to get lost in a crowd. Then why did you do 'Hulchul'? I wouldn't agree that I got lost in a crowd in 'Hulchul'. I had a role equivalent to Suniel Shetty and Jackie Shroff. I wanted to work with Priyadarshan. I have great respect for him. Have you been paid your full amount for 'Karishma...'? No. I have some dues pending. Let's hope I get that balance amount. Your kitty comprises of Akbar Khan's 'Taj Mahal', which has been in the making for a long time. When will that film release? It's expected in April. Your kitty further contains? I have two more projects in the pipeline, which I am not supposed to leak out, until the producers make a formal announcement. Inshallah, I will bounce back in a big way. There is a lull before every storm.   close   Print this Article http://www.bollyvista.com   http://www.bollyvista.com/article/a/34/4497
