I'm too lenient as producer: Arbaaz Khan

Actor Arbaaz Khan has tasted success as a film producer, but he now feels he's too easy-going on his team when he's on the job.

"I go along with my team, but I am too lenient and not strict at all as a producer. In fact, professionalism in my team should increase," Arbaaz Khan told IANS while talking about how he handles this crucial aspect of filmmaking.

"At times, I give lot of liberty and facilities, but today filmmaking is also a business. It's important to make your film on a budget and on time. As a producer, we have to be strict about that," he added.

Arbaaz is currently busy promoting his film "Dolly Ki Doli". Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the film features Sonam Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao in key roles.

Arbaaz's wife Malaika Arora has co-produced their past films -- "Dabangg" and "Dabangg 2".

Talking about the importance of her presence, Arbaaz said: "Malaika is like a sounding board, and I take her opinion. Her opinion is unbiased...I feel she is very honest. When I finalise anything, I take her opinion."
