As
an
actor,
he
might
be
open
to
taking
up
almost
all
kind
of
roles,
but
Arbaaz
Khan
says
when
it
comes
to
producing
and
directing
a
film,
he
is
inclined
towards
mainstream
cinema.
"As
a
director,
I
would
always
want
to
do
mainstream
cinema,
which
has
popular
reception.
I
don't
want
to
make
niche
films
or
make
films
to
win
awards," Arbaaz
told
IANS
at
a
press
conference
for
his
new
film
Jeena
Isi
Ka
Naam
Hai.
Dabangg
Won
A
National
Award
"I
feel
if
a
film
is
good,
it
will
reach
a
bigger
audience
and
it
might
end
up
winning
awards
--
which
is
what
happened
with
Dabangg.
It
won
a
National
Award
and
did
well
at
the
box
office
too.
You
don't
have
to
make
cinema
only
to
win
awards
I
don't
care
if
I
don't
win
awards,
I
really
don't
care," he
added.
Arbaaz
On
Malaika
Talking
about
his
personal
life,
Arbaaz,
who
has
separated
from
estranged
wife
and
actress-model
Malaika
Arora
Khan,
said,
"See
you
have
a
choice,
either
you
look
back
at
your
life
and
sit
back,
or
you
look
at
it
as
a
lesson
and
say,
'Okay,
I
am
going
to
move
on
from
here'.''
"Any
loss
that
you
suffer
-
be
it
money-wise,
somebody's
demise
in
the
family
or
a
relationship,
life
goes
on.
Human
beings
are
meant
to
survive."
I
Don't
Have
Any
Real
Expectations
When
asked
about
the
types
of
roles
he
looks
for,
Arbaaz
said,
"I
just
wait
for
people
to
offer
me
something
that
I
feel
is
suited.
I
don't
have
any
real
expectations.
When
somebody
comes
to
me,
I
feel
that
they
have
somewhere
made
up
in
their
mind
that
I
fit
the
character.
So
I
trust
them."
Arbaaz
said
as
a
film
producer,
he
is
more
selective
about
his
choices,
but
as
an
actor
he
is
more
available.
"In
a
year,
I
can
do
five-six
films
as
an
actor,
but
I
can't
do
the
same
as
a
director.
I
have
to
select
one.
As
an
actor,
I
keep
myself
available
because
I
like
to
experiment.
When
I
am
directing
films,
I
am
a
little
more
particular,
careful
and
choosy.
But
as
an
actor
I
love
to
experiment,"
he
said.
