I was always looking for good stories. I don’t care if the film is made for 1000 crores, 500 crores or 300 crores. I don’t work like that. Everyone wants to talk about the cash register these days. I’ve always fought against the checkout trend.”Manoj has several projects in his kitty including Gulmohar.
