Dileep was on the sets of his latest film with director Sathyan Andhikaat when we met him. For some time now, the actor had been on the receiving end of many an allegation regarding his films.
The otherwise polite and friendly Dileep, who doesn't have anything bad to say about anybody, didn't quite mince his words this time.
"Sometimes I feel as if I'm the one with the greatest number of enemies in the film industry. There are times when I knew for sure that I have enemies all around me. Whenever my films flop, these people laugh and say that I probably should never have attempted such a stunt before.
"There is a general impression that I'm good only for comedy and sentimental roles. But people don't realize that I have been doing action roles for a very long time. Look at films like 'Runway', 'Lion' and 'Chess'! All these films did well at the box office. Only Don failed at the box office. I'm being crucified for that failure.
"In spite of this, if I'm still surviving in the industry, it is due to my fans and their love for me," he said.
"Fans will get tired if you continue to dish out the same kind of stuff again and again. That's why I'm trying to bring in variety. Nobody can say for certain about the outcome of films at the box office. Some work. Some don't. But it is not fair to brand someone as a flop actor simply because he has had two flops and completely forget all about the hit films that he had starred in.
"I have starred in 16 continuous hit films. Let me tell you something. I don't work in films for the sake of my enemies. I do films for my fans. I want to make films that entertain them.
