Agli picture mein kaam ayega (We will mortgage it when I am making my next film),” Randeep told Bollywood Bubble.
The 47-year-old actor further revealed that even though everyone had warned him against putting his own money into the film, he decided to take his father’s help when no other option was left.
“My father has been trying to save all the money for me because I’m a bit open-handed. He was scared that I would lose all my money on fast women and slow horses. So, he started saving on my behalf and bought a couple of flats in Mumbai,” Randeep added.
