I would prefer to not talk about films I have not been a part of.
I think as an actor, you have to make yourself vulnerable to emotions.
The digital medium gives you the license to talk about many things as compared to movies. It is quicker than shooting for a film.
I think every Delhi guy who comes to Mumbai has a huge Shah Rukh hangover. He has been so good with the variety of roles he has played in his career.
I want to keep looking for roles that have an element of surprise.
I want to do interesting characters with depth, which are a part of great stories. In fact, if the character is quirky and challenging, that's even better.
I understand that I need to take up quality work.
I want to take up work in different genres.
My wishlist of directors, who I want to work with is endless. I want to work with Vishal Bhardwaj, Dibakar Banerjee, Karan Johar and many more.
When I'm doing a part, I'm not coming with any baggage of who did what. I looked at 'Force 2' as a fresh film. It's a new story and a new director.
As much effort it takes in nailing great comic timing, it takes the same effort to ace any dance step or a romantic dialogue. All of them have their different space.
Nitesh Tiwari is so particular about his pre-production, where he plans every aspect of his film.
As an actor, you always have to love who you are playing.
Acting is about being in the moment and audiences are smart to know what is authentic and what is not.
One of the things I love about acting is that there is always scope for growth.
Everyone has loved 'Chhichhore' for a different reason, which I think for an actor is the best thing to hear. What I've been most touched by is that most people have discovered something new about the film when they have walked in the second time.
I haven't been an athlete in school or college, though I have played basketball and football.
Actors normally go to the gym to achieve a certain kind of fitness for a role but when you start playing a sport, then you realise that being athletically fit is a very different kind of fitness.
With my work in 'Mardaani' being well-received, I am more aware than ever that I have to keep the game up. I don't want to disappoint myself as an actor first and let my audience down.
I spent my childhood all over the country. In certain parts where I grew up, films were this fantasy world.
