American-Indian director Amit Kumar has got reclusive actor Victor Banerjee on board for his independent production, Blemished Light. The actor lets loose about the money culture in Hindi cinema

What draws you out of your home in Mussoorie to act in films intermittently?
The increasing cost of LPG gas. That's what accounts for a whole lot of rubbish that I prance numbly through and enjoy immensely. But, thank heavens, I do get offered some meaningful cinema that is an inspiration to work for, and in. For instance, I was inspired by Blemished Light because of the sincerity of its writer and director, R Amit Kumar and his technical professionalism. But, above all, he seemed like a 'gentleman' I could trust.
