bent cannot change delusions earlier films mass mind niche though
A movie is a mass consumption product. I have got no delusions about being niche. I don't want to be niche. Though in the earlier part of my career I was into niche cinema, doing independent films - and I do have a revolutionary bent of mind - but you cannot make a change from outside; you have to be a part of it.
demands family gets mom tells
My mom often tells me to get married, but she gets it now that I don't want to. Like any other mom, she is worried, but she also understands the demands of my profession. I am blessed to have a family like this.
basics front good help invariably learnt realising
Having learnt my basics in theatre, I always feel film is a collaborative effort. If you do your part well and help the person in front of you in realising his or her potential, the film invariably comes out good.
half mind
I wouldn't mind going half naked on stage, if that is what my role demands.
animal asked bus conductor five four hardly hop seeing strangest ticket village
I would often take this bus and go to a nearby village where I had hordes of animal friends. I was hardly around four or five years old then. The conductor was so used to seeing me hop on to the bus and get down at the same place, that he never asked any questions. The strangest part is, he never asked for a ticket either!
I don't have a set image. In fact, I would be curious to know how someone slots me.
love opposite restricted
Love can never make you weak, and love is not restricted to opposite sex. I love my parents, I love my animals, and I love my profession.
appeal commercial consider good home known people sex sit though
Sex appeal is a good thing for commercial cinema. Though I can't sit at home and consider myself a sex symbol, it is for people to do so. I want to be known as an interesting actor.
biggest family point since supportive
My family is my biggest critic. Since they come from a non-filmi background, they give me an audience's point of view. They have been very supportive of me.
flop happening whether
I feel very meditative when I ride. A horse does not know whether my movie is a hit or a flop or what is happening in my relationship.
amidst audience conducive easier emotions environment gives pick sets
I find theatre easier than films, because it gives you an environment of a dark hall, the audience concentrating with you... whereas, film sets are not conducive to long rehearsals, and it is difficult to pick up the emotions amidst all that is going on around you.
best cast good lots noise work
You have to make enough noise to be cast in the right films, and the best way to make that noise is to do lots of good work.
both dramatic exposure great society
We had a great dramatic society in school, and that's where I first got exposure both as an actor and director.
captain department enjoy excel figured fun great life love plays rest theatre work
We had a great dramatics department in school, so I did a lot of plays and theatre there. Later, when I was the captain of our student's ward, I figured out that if you find something you really love to do, you don't have to work for the rest of your life! You can just have fun and still excel in it because you enjoy what you do.
