Om Puri has cut down on the number of films he works in. But the actor lives with a lot of pain and worries. The veteran actor surely has his own set of differences with Naseeruddin Shah.
Says Om Puri, “I’ve a little son. He needs careful nurturing. I can’t just sit back and relax. Naseer’s children a grown up. His responsibilities are over. And besides he has earned a lot more than me. I’ve been paid peanuts for my efforts. I was paid a mere 7 lakh rupees for playing one of the central characters and working four months non-stop in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s China Gate.
I’m sure Naseer must’ve got five times more money for the same film. Surely big filmmakers like Santoshi Saab should be more cautious of my worth. ”
