The Hindi remake of your Telugu hit Arjun Reddy- Kabir Singh proved to be a great blockbuster at the box office. Yet why did it take time for you to say yes to a Hindi offer like Liger?
To tell you the truth, I was not mentally prepared to take up the change of acting in Hindi films when offers started coming my way after the phenomenal success of Arjun Reddy. I didn't mind letting the offers slip away from my fingers at all but the moment I was ready, I did not say No to producer Karan Johar when he approached me with the offer to play the lead in his film Liger directed by Puri Jagannad
How nervous are you now that your debut film in Hindi- Liger is all set to release on August 25 this year?
Believe it or not, I am actually very confident that the film will turn out to be a big blockbuster in Hindi. I have seen it when the film was being made in a span of 140 days in the US as well as Mumbai. I also have seen the film five to six times and feel very hopeful about its success.
How tough was it for you to prepare for your challenging part in Liger?
I had no alternative but to train in advance to get my physique right in high standard action. The fights in the film were conceived like choreography. Every scene that I did for the film gave me literally a big high. Every visual was perfect and I wanted the story narrated in the film to be unfolded through me.
How was the experience of travelling for the promotions of your film all over the country?
It was great. I find the Gujaratis as sweet as their food is. I was amazed to find even the media in Gujarat very sweet. When I went to Bihar, I found the Biharis were more like me as they are also a little bit rowdy like I am.
