On the professional front

The aim, Riteish said, is to do films where there is a marriage between content and commerce, as both are equally important. "I am in a zone where I go out there to do what I love, that is act and produce content that appeals to me. When it comes to producing, I get attracted to newer ideas. "I look at stories where content can meet commerce. There are fascinating ideas and stories and it might excite some people but it is important the numbers start coming in. Commerce is extremely important as content." Riteish's next film is Tiger Shroff-fronted "Baaghi 3".
