What’s more interesting – playing a metrosexual chef in ‘SalaamNamaste’ or a car racer in ‘Ta Ra Rum Pum’?
I hate that word – metrosexual. I would not have a manicure and pedicure, but would cut my nails. It’s quite close to my nature – I can play the ‘Salaam Namaste’ part because it’s very much like me. They are actually both very similar character spaces. If you meet NASCAR drivers it’s not like they are all Clint Eastwood. They all seem like regular guys. They have boring haircuts and moustaches; they don’t look like daredevils at all. But they are.
Are you a sporty person? What kind of sports do you enjoy?
cricket. I love watching football but playing-wise, it’s more squash, cricket and hockey.
Any whacky incident you remember during the shoot of the film?
Can’t think of anything during the shoot, but yes, the hotel that I was checked into was on Highway 1 and was in the middle of nowhere, opposite the cemetery, and it didn’t have any windows in the rooms. I was smoking cigarettes those days and after shooting in that kind of claustrophobic heat, I just couldn’t handle the rooms so I got them to make me a window which was quite sweet of them to do so. I had to go to Kmart which was the only shop down the road and buy a window and install it, which was quite starry, so now they call it the ‘presidential suite’ because it’s got a window that opens.
What was it like working with Rani again after ‘HumTum’?
I think chemistry has got nothing to do with either your intentions or how you feel.
Like there are many real life lovers who don’t have chemistry on screen, then there are people who don’t even know each other that set the screen on fire. I agree I have great screen chemistry with Rani I was watching ‘Hum Tum’ the other day and I just think it’s a magical movie in parts. I think she’s a phenomenal actor and she brings something really special to the screen, for which I respect her a lot. It is competitive for me to be working with her because I actually want to be better than her because she is so very good.
