Your portfolio is spilling over with some exciting films lined up this year.
I recently completed a grueling schedule with Saif Ali Khan for Yashraj Films’ Tashan. We then flew away to the Australian Gold Coast to shoot for Vipul Shah’s home production Singh is King being directed by Anees Bazmee. This month, we are about to begin the shoot for Made in China. Then there is Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kambakht Ishq, Nagesh Kukunoor’s Eight By Ten, Feroz Nadiadwala’s International Hera Pheri with Priyadarshan, one David Dhawan film and one more Yashraj film directed by Shaad Ali.
They say your have been insisting on casting Katrina Kaif with every film. Is this true?
This is news to me. I am more amused than angry. How then do you explain the fact that almost all my under-production films do not feature Katrina at all? I am working with different actresses in these films. So, how these rumours have got to you God alone knows. Just because we happened to act together in several films and all of them were hits, does not mean that I will become insecure about acting with other actresses.
When and how do you ever relax if at all you do?
I love spending time with my family. Twinkle and I have a very good comfort level as she has worked in the industry as well. So we understand each other well. I began to understand what fatherhood is all about only after Aarav was born. I also work out in my Parkour gym. That gives me the time and space to introspect, reflect on how it is going, what needs to be done and what needs to be changed. I keep out of discussions that debate on whether I am counted with other superstars and all that stuff. It takes you away from focussing on more necessary things like finding out ways that will not bore my audience.
