I think they quite like me when I work because I'm one of the safer directors to back, because even if my films don't bring their costs in back home, once they're shown outside of India they manage to cover the costs.

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker, likely a director, is considered a low-risk investment by producers. Despite the potential for their films not to perform well domestically, they are confident that their work will be successful internationally, ultimately allowing them to recoup the costs. This may indicate that the director's films have a higher appeal or marketability outside of their home country, making them a reliable choice for investors even if they don't guarantee profits in the local market.
