Well, in a recent interview when a journalist asked him, the reason behind signing movies like Teraa Suroor and ‘Welcome Back’. He has given an interesting piece of the answer. Naseeruddin Shah said, “I had very good reasons… a few hundred thousand reasons. You ask for satisfaction, you get satisfied – Financial satisfaction! (laughs).
