Paresh Rawal, a self-made actor, wants his sons to learn the ropes and find a place for themselves in filmdom. He has no plans to launch them.
His eldest son is being mentored by Naseeruddin Shah, said Paresh and added: "My second son is into screenplays. He is into writing."
"I never had any launching pad. I can give them advice, but if you think I will invest Rs 10 to Rs 15 crore and launch my kids, then you are wrong. I will not do that. Besides, I don't even have that much money," he said.
"Let them struggle and find their own way," added the actor who entered films in the early 1980s and found a foothold after his hair-raising performance as a ruthless smuggler in Naam.
In his career, which spans over three decades, he has played all kind of roles - from villainous to character to comedy.
One of his recent noteworthy performances was in Oh My God!.
Paresh's next is Raja Natwarlal, releasing on August 29, and he said: "It's a believable film and we have worked a lot on the script. I have worked with Emraan earlier and he is an underrated actor. He is extremely hardworking."
