“I think what working in a short film online is that the response from the audience is immediate whether your short film or web-series works or not, it is immediate. You can see comments and you can also see how many people have viewed it.”
“How you carry yourself is how people perceive you.”
“I think every Delhi guy who comes to Mumbai has a huge Shah Rukh hangover. He has been so good with the variety of roles he has played in his career.”
“I like to spend time with senior actors before going on set to break the ice. On set, I just look at them as co-actors.”
“I want to keep looking for roles that have an element of surprise.”
“I really believe quality over quantity and 'Mardaani' was really well-received. It got me critical acclaim and box-office success, both.”
“Acting is about being in the moment and audiences are smart to know what is authentic and what is not.”
“As an actor, you always have to love who you are playing.”
“There isn't that big a vibe around Diwali in Mumbai. Over there its Ganpati Visarjan, which is quite huge.”
“With my work in 'Mardaani' being well-received, I am more aware than ever that I have to keep the game up. I don't want to disappoint myself as an actor first and let my audience down.”
“Actually two films is too short a time for an actor to get typecast.”
“Nitesh Tiwari is so particular about his pre-production, where he plans every aspect of his film.”
“I am not a big fan of going to malls. I am pretty old-fashioned that way.”
“On the sets of the movie 'Manto,' I found that one of the challenges of embodying real-life stories is the mixed medium of facts and imagination, and how one's collage of experiences colour ones representation on celluloid.”
“As an actor, you want convince the audience that you can do different things. So, if I have to run in slow motion, I am more than happy to romance.”
“When 'Mardaani' came out, one of the great compliments was that we hated the character but we loved the guy. So that was a great compliment to get, especially from female fans.”
“To play the role of a sports champion, I first needed to break my body and become supremely fit to convincingly look like a college athlete. Along with acing sporting disciplines, I also had to balance the emotional graph and light heartedness of a college drama while competing in varying sport! Combining the two drained a lot out of me.”
“It is a matter of pride, and a lot of pressure to play the role of a legend like Sunil Gavaskar. He is India's first cricket superstar.”
“Censorship is a really big deal, but online you don't have anything. You have slightly more freedom.”
“It's always interesting exploring something that has dimensions and layers to it.”
