It doesn’t matter. They grew, and it was okay,’ said Abu, adding that Akshay was a man whose back was against the wall,” back in the days.
‘They just had to go ahead at any cost. They just wanted people who could give money to them at any cost. And whenever they could make a direct approach, they would take that.
