Directed by Kapoor, 'Mithya' was a 2008 satire revolving around the underworld. The film opened to good reviews and did decent business at the box office.
"I would have loved to make 'Mithya' with Shahrukh Khan or with Saif Ali Khan. They are wonderful actors. I am a fan of Saif and of Shahrukh. I would have loved to make it with them. They would fit in off course and they would do a great job. I have no doubt about it. But the main thing is what they want," Rajat Kapoor told PTI in an interview.
"I have approached Shahrukh and Saif also, but it is obvious that they have a certain priority. They have a certain belief system and they work accordingly and there is nothing wrong in it. You must do what you believe in. They believe in certain kind of cinema which is not this cinema," he said.
Kapoor also said that the films that he makes have small budget, are non-commercial and it is obvious that stars would not like to venture in this space.
"Stars, I don't believe want to work in these kinds of films as they have their own agenda and their own priorities. Why would Shahrukh work with me in a film like this? He would work in 'Don' and those kinds of films. That is his choice and priority. They (stars) work according to their beliefs and I work according to my beliefs. And I work with people who share that belief," Kapoor said.
"Fatso", a romantic comedy, releases on May 4. The film stars Ranvir Shorey, Gul Panag and Purab Kohli in lead roles.
