Q. Which cinema would you rather be part of?
A. I am greedy. I want to do both. The sur of acting is so different in MTH and "Queen". I am doing the more naturalistic sur in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya. It's a very real film.I play a working-class Punjabi guy.I feel very thrilled about this film. I feel as an actor I should explore everything there is to explore. I am consciously choosing roles that are different from one another.
Q. How has "Main Tera Hero" changed you as an actor?
A. I am exhausted. But satisfied. I feel sapped out. I can't do another films like MTH for the next two years. I did this film from the heart. We had a huge lot of improvisation on the sets. We were constantly adding, revising, polishing. To me, this is what commercial Hindi cinema is all about. After release, when I went to the theatre, this elderly gentleman came and put his hand on my head and blessed me. Then his children came and told me they liked the film. For me, that was the reward for all the hard work.
