It’s a new phase in his acting career, and he’s enjoying every bit of it.
“My whole process and mindset is to just entertain people. If you get acknowledged as an actor, your inning is always going to be longer than just being a star,”
For so many, you are the eternal lover boy of Barsaat. Now suddenly, we see you hunting a couple as a ruthless mercenary. Was it an uneasy transition for you to accept yourself as an anti-hero?
No, it wasn’t. It has been a deliberate effort on my part to do different stuff. I am looking for roles which will intrigue and excite me.
I was very happy when Gaurav (Verma) from Red Chillies came to me with Love Hostel. I was like wow, thank you so much it’s a very interesting character.
I was taken aback by the story.
Drishyam Films, who are partners with Red Chillies, are passionate filmmakers, so working with the cast Sanya (Malhotra) and Vikrant (Massey) and my director Shanker Raman was one of the best experiences.
He is an awesomely talented director and I am lucky to have got a chance to work with him.
Your co-star Sanya Malhotra calls you a sheer joy to work with. What do you think of her and Vikrant Massey?
They are sweethearts.
I remember the first day when I woke up in my hotel, there was a knock on my door and Sanya and Vikrant walk in.
They walked in to pay their respects and to tell me how they have been fans of mine over the years.
That was such a sweet gesture.
I was overwhelmed.
Both are natural performers.
