Asked about making a movie with newcomers, he said: "It depends on the budget, you cannot make a Rs.100 crore film with newcomers especially when it's not your money..."
"If I get a script where I feel that I need a newcomer and the budget is small or whatever, I will definitely do it. But I need to see the script, and I need to feel that, okay, now I can make the film with a newcomer," Shetty told IANS on phone from Mumbai.
In the last 10 years, he has been loyal to the action-comedy genre.
Be it "Golmaal" or "Singham" or "Chennai Express", they all are comedy dramas with a heavy dose of action. Shetty says he'll continue making such films so long as it doesn't come from "within" that he should switch to another genre.
"It should come from within me. If it comes from within, I will definitely do something else. But it shouldn't be like I have to prove a point that I can do something else. So, I will do something different when the right time comes," the 40-year-old said.
