Q. You seem to have established the same kind of connect with the audience as Govinda did in your father's films. Does that comparison annoy you?
A. Not at all. If anything, it is unfair to an actor of Govinda's stature and durability. At the same time, I do realise that all newcomers are compared with established actors. And because MTH is a full-on David Dhawan film, the kind that my father did with Govinda, the comparisons are inevitable. MTH is very different from its source of origin - the Telugu film "Kandireega". The style of storytelling and packaging is full-on David Dhawan.
Q. You've caught the flavour of David Dhawan's cinema bang-on?
A. I had to. Otherwise I'd have been thrown out of the film. He was very strict with me during the shooting. Out of the 60 days that we shot MTH, I was on tenterhooks for 45 days.
