"I'm making baby steps in production... Being a primary time producer, I won't get a big-time star to work in those films. So I MUST put myself within the film as a result of money constraints," Abhay said.
The Bollywood actor spoke about it during an interactive session Saturday on the 43rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here.
Known as one in all Bollywood's more circumspect and reluctant stars, Abhay also said that he would rope within the big actors if his debut film, which he's attempting, does well.
Later, in conversation with director Vishal Bhardwaj, Abhay said his role as a south Indian bureaucrat in Dibakar Banerjee's "Shanghai" was probably the most difficult role he has essayed yet. And he says it was as a result of distinct accent he needed to cultivate.
"It was a south Indian accent and we traditionally have an infrastructure of accent training factors in our country, we do not have professionals. So even during breaks, I'D speak with that accent, and feature to remember the accent, and the emotion and the scene and the motive," he said.
