The choice of films I make is directly proportional to the kind of cinema I have grew up watching.
In a population of over one billion, there are 12-15 names that have the potential to be main leads in Hindi films. I am within the minority of the minority.
People feel that in this industry friendships are not for real, but that's not true. Otherwise, what is the point of being friends?
I can't put on a facade every time I go out.
My grandfather is from Peshawar; he was born there.
Who would say no to a film like 'Gunday?'
I want all my films to do well.
Success demands sacrifices. I believe it's a small price to pay for the adulation and love one receives.
It's silly to have a prototype, because one inevitably falls for someone unexpected. My only criterion is she shouldn't just look nice; she must have a personality, too.
An actor should never be influenced by the surroundings, because you have to submit completely, and trust me, it's not a good feeling when you know that your father is going to come and watch you work every day!
I am an actor and mouldable enough to do films like '2 States,' 'Gunday,' and 'Finding Fanny.'
I have never restricted myself to my strengths and abilities, as they are unlimited, and I am still discovering them.
I enjoy doing action a lot more because my films have a sense of violence. That's because I have a broad structure, and if I hit someone, it looks believable. Maybe my contemporaries are meeker-looking in comparison.
My first film, 'Ishaqzaade,' did well, and I got four damn good films because of it.
With 'Aurangzeb,' I just knew that the film wasn't going to work, though I think it was one of my most underrated performances. I did the film too early in my career, but I stand by it.
I didn't even know I would be an actor; I always wanted to be a cameraman.
Films work due to scripts, characters, and what you see on screen.
I assisted on a lot of films outside my dad's company. I only did two of his films.
I am very filmi by nature.
Housewives run the home and sacrifice a lot, but many people forget that.
