‘The producers these days are more focused on making money and less focused on the artistic aspect of a film, as a result they are investing money on films that lack artistic values,’ explained the artiste.
‘So, I’m now concentrating more on teleplays and less on films but hope I will again go back to film if I get any good offers,’ Rubel said.
