Boney Kapoor talks about Sahara One deal

It’s already known that filmmaker Boney Kapoor has joined the Sahara group of companies as a member of their board of directors; he will now also co-produce movies with the Sahara brand.

Talking to Bollywood Hungama, Boney said, “I haven’t just joined Sahara as a director but I also head their entire entertainment branch. All the television and film entertainment will be monitored by me. So yes, I’ll be co-producing all my own films with Sahara.”

His wife Sridevi is making her much awaited Bollywood comeback with Gauri Shinde’s ‘English Vinglish’, talking about that, Boney said, “Sridevi is doing one film at the moment. Whether she chooses to take up more acting assignments or not is entirely her prerogative. Contrary to reports neither she nor I need worry about our finances. By the grace of God, Sri is a very rich woman. I am no pauper either. She doesn’t need my income to support her lifestyle, although everything I’ve is hers and my two daughters. In fact she has supported me when I was in a crisis some years ago. Today we’re both capable of looking after our home without worrying about money.”

About his deal with Sahara, Boney said that all his future movies will be co-produced by Sahara. “It’s a big responsibility. When Sahara chief Subrato Sen called me, it wasn’t because I was the most successful or the most capable producer around. I think he saw my past record. I’ve had a good 30 years of experience as a film producer. Yes, I’ve occasionally been on my back-foot. But I think I’ve managed to prove my capabilities in film production. I hope to turn around the fortunes of Sahara’s entertainment section, not because I think of myself as a magician but a person who understands how this business works.”
