I want to start out by congratulating you on the super success of Super 30.
Thank you so much.
I went through your filmography and I noticed the pattern that you always take up films that are acting-driven right after or before films which celebrate your appearance, dance or action. Is this a conscious decision?
(Laughs) Is it true? No, not really. Cause I did Kaabil before Super 30. Kaabil was not like a ‘looks’ film.
Say for instance, between Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish there was Lakshya, then after Kites there was Guzaarish and after Bang Bang you did Mohenjodaro and Kaabil. And now after Super 30, you are doing War.
Accha you mean like sporadically one film and couple of films where the hero vibes come into play, so to speak. Yes, because, I mean, if you ask me I am a fan of that genre. The genre of Dhoom 2, Bang Bang, War. I am actually very very fond of this genre. My first attempt always is to find a film on the lines of that. Having said that, I take up scripts which hit an emotional chord in my system. But my first instinct is to always to find an intelligent action film.
And also do you feel that sometimes because you know you have to remind people that in being so wowed by your appearance, they shouldn’t fail to take you seriously as an actor?
I don’t think you can actually prove something like that. This is an instinct that actually is a very natural instinct of an artist that you know what kind of films he wants to do and I have always followed my heart. My choices have just been a very basic reflection of the kind of person I am. That’s about it. I’m not trying it on purpose or to prove anything. I am just trying to do my best.
