Bollyvista caught up with the cast and crew of the film. Ashwini Chaudhary How was your experience making 'Good Boy, Bad Boy' with Mukta Arts? After the success of 'Dhoom' and other youth-based film, Subhash Ghai offered me this film. It is always great to work with such a reputed banner. It is a young campus film, set in Bombay. It is about today's youth with two different segments. One is nerdy and concentrates on studying with serious approach to life and the other segment has a casual approach towards life. It is how both segments can be successful in life irrespective of their image. It is a situational comedy with a good moral message. How much freedom did you have while making this film? I was free and permitted to do whatever I wanted to do. About casting, whenever you read a script, that itself narrates the characters to you. I always wanted Emraan as a bad boy and Tusshar as a good boy. Even the music by Himesh is a major plus point. I was allowed to have my creative independence. When you work with a reputed banner everything becomes easier. I am glad to be working with them. Subhashji was a major guiding force. What earlier work you have done? I was a journalist for Indian Express and was also involved in cinema and theatre. I won a national award for my first film 'Laado'. Then I went on to make 'Siskiyaan' and 'Dhoop'. I intend to continue with more good work. Tusshar Kapoor How do you find 'Good Boy, Bad Boy' interesting and what is your role in it? It is a comedy and fun-filled movie with a college backdrop. It is about two people with different attitudes. One of them is nerdy, which is played by me and other one is a flirtatious guy played by Emraan. I play the "good boy" in the film. It is a fun, disorganized, innocent college film without violence. Himesh's music is also one of the selling factors. Dard-e-Dil is my solo song in the film and the music is quite impressive. How was your experience working in the film? It was fun working with talented people like Emraan, Tanushree and Esha. Emraan is quite chilled out, a down to earth person with no insecurities. Tanushree is like a kid, unaware of the film's politics and Esha is quite a dedicated and sweet girl. Ashwini is very sharp and knows exactly what he wants in a film. Even Subhash Ghai was equally participative and guided us whenever required. How do you select films and prepare for roles? I am a director's actor and look for good director and script before signing any film. I always prepare for my roles. I am trying different roles now in films like 'Shootout At Lokhandwala' and other films. Sometimes you just have to be yourself on the sets like in 'Kya Kool Hai Hum' and sometimes you have to prepare like in 'Golmaal'. I had to do a lot of homework. What are the similarities and differences between you and your character? I was like my character Rajan during my school days, but different like Emraan's character in college days. I have enjoyed both phases equally. Emraan Hashmi What's your role in 'Good Boy, Bad Boy' and what is interesting about the film? I am playing the "bad boy" but without grey shades in this film. My character is not focused, not clear about life and hates studying. One day he meets Tusshar Kapoor's character and we both become good friends. The film shows how the friendship creates magic and how both characters passes on qualities to each other. The music is impressive. Ashwini is an actor's director and is completely clear about the film's look. What is your definition of acting and how do you select your films? I always feel cinema is not about shouting and 'dialoguebaazi'. Acting is about emoting yourself and give the audience what they want. They like watching me as flirtatious characters, so I don't want to disappoint them by playing uncomfortable roles. I see the character, script and treatment given to the plot before signing a film. I select roles, which appeal to a wide audience. How was your experience working in 'Good Boy, Bad Boy'? Mukta Arts is a good banner to work under and very professional. It was a pleasure working with Ashwini and Subhashji. Tusshar, Esha and Tanushree. It was fun to work with all of them, as they are all quite dedicated. What are your upcoming projects? I am doing 2 - 3 Bhatt Camp films, 'The Train' and 'Avarapan'. Sajid Nadiadwala's next untitled film is also upcoming. Tanushree Dutta What is 'Good Boy, Bad Boy' about and what is your role in it? It is a romantic, fun-filled comedy and a family entertainer with a good storyline and a moral message. I am playing Dinky, a character who hates to study and loves bunking and shopping. She adds a glamorous touch to it with comedic shades. How was it working with film's star cast and Mukta Arts? It was a pleasure working with Mukta Arts, which is one of the leading banners. Ashwini, the director is very sensitive, sharp and very supportive to all actors. Both Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor were energetic and dedicated during the shoots. Esha Sharvani was fun to work with because she is quite a chilled-out girl. How do you prepare for roles and how is your role in this film related to you? A little bit of homework is always involved in any film. For this one, I play a college-going girl who's very similar to how I was in college. The difference between me and the character is she hates studying but I don't. What are your upcoming films? 'Dhol' and 'Raqueeb' are upcoming. In 'Dhol, I am playing a simple, non-glamorous role, whereas in 'Raqueeb' I play a negative character.   close   Print this Article http://www.bollyvista.com   http://www.bollyvista.com/article/a/34/7584
