Actor Paresh Rawal has featured in most of the Hindi films made by Priyadarshan. The filmmaker reveals the reason is that they enjoy a good rapport.

"Because my vibe is very good with him. I always say I have so many known devils and I prefer them over unknown angels. So Paresh is one of my known devil who is a brilliant actor, " the 55-year-old said in an interview.

"When you have such an actor who will do complete justice to your film, naturally you'll keep them in your cinema, " he added.

Paresh Rawal has worked with Priyadarshan in films like "Hera Pheri", "Hungama", "Hulchul", "Bhagam Bhag", "Garam Masala", "Malamaal Weekly" and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa".

A new trend of Rs.100 crore club has started in filmdom, but Priyadarshan says he does not bother about it concept.

"I don't believe in Rs. 100 crore club, I only believe that the producer should make money. You can make a film in Rs.2 crore and collect Rs.10 crore. And you make a film in Rs.90 crore and you get Rs.100 crore, both the people got 10 crore, " Priyadarshan said.

"So what matters now is your film should be on-budget and should make money for producer. That is the only attitude, " he added.

However, Priyadarshan believes an actor's saleability is what ultimately decides the budget and the earnings of a film.

"Naturally, stars also bring in people like Salman (Khan). Today, if you just put up a poster of him and films are collecting. So then you can spend that kind of money on a Salman film because it's a guarantee that you are getting the money back, " he said.

"The same thing you can't do it with a Shreyas (Talpade) film or a Riteish (Deshmukh) film, you have to go according to what is the saleability of those heroes and make films within their limit so every film can be profitable, " he added.
