I just came across his 2006 interview.

Akshay Kumar and Ekta Kapoor have more than one production house. They make different films under the banners.

I am very clear about my ambitions. ,I am very clear that I want to be the Harvey Weinstein of this country. I am very clear that 10 years down the line, I want to be the Rupert Murdoch of the entertainment business. I am very clear that my word has to be held with a lot of weight because there are a lot of things that I will say that will carry a lot of weight in the future. And when you look back and introspect and archive what I have said, it's going to be pretty much the same. There is a certain vision I have. And I know I will get there; it's just about how and when I will get there. So I want to choose; I have a very clear vision on the kinds of films I want to produce. I am not going to deviate and have five banners to produce five different kinds of films.

Harvey Weinstein was outed because he lost a power struggle in Miramax to his brother. The best way to get him out was to expose and then take over his company (not sure if he still has shares). Not the face of Miramax anymore, all signed and sealed very neatly, with no chance of a comeback. Harvey is long out of whatever rehab he went to and as long as he doesn't try to comeback to Miramax he'll be fine, and won't face prosecution. That though is the secondary reason he was outed, the first is probably not for these pages. I sincerely hope John Abraham will avoid any vestige of HW in his career.

Yes Weinstein Company. I keep thinking of Miramax even though they sold out yonks ago. John Abraham doesn't need to emulate Weinstein anyway, he's talented enough to do it in his own way.
