"For an individual to stand tall over there, it's difficult. You have to do your PR, run around, and they won't give you your number of theatres. They don't want individuals to be there. I had a tough time with my films in this past decade. You're trying to do a certain kind of cinema, but you (don't get the backing)," Deol said.
Speaking of his acting career, Deol said he is happy with just acting now and wishes to do as many films as he can. "That's what I came in for. I became a producer, a director, wearing too many hats. A man can only do one job. Throw everything away, just become an actor.’ So that's what I want to do now. Do as many films as I can as an actor," the actor said.
