Sharman says he enjoyed the role. "We worked on many physicalities. The nature is predicated in a Parsi family. Way to my sharp nose, I GLANCE like a Parsi. We sharpened the nose much more and popped out the ears. I placed on about 8 to ten kg of weight," Sharman told IANS.
"The emotional quotient of being gentle, honest and always smiling took a while to come back. There have been also workshops and, of course, I USED TO BE on a vacation relating to my diet," he added. Debutant director Rajesh Mapushkar wielded the megaphone for the film to inform the tale of a father, his son and the Ferrari. It's Sharman's first solo hero film, Ferrari Ki Sawaari. He appears to be confident about his performance and says: "As an actor what's most vital is for you to be in a calm way of thinking. You will have faith in yourself. I enjoyed myself. I DID NOT put any pressure of the solo role or the truth that this is a very big film. This was my approach in order that I MAY give my best."
The actor has earlier impressed viewers together with his performance in 3 idiots, Life in a Metro and Golmaal. He feels a film's script have to be informative and entertaining. "Scripts must have out-of-the-box ideas; they need to be entertaining and reach the most important collection of audience. In the event that they can provide a social message also, at the side of the entertainment quotient, it's great," he says. Sharman says he has always been serious about Ferrari and enjoyed spending time with the automobile throughout the shooting for Ferrari Ki Sawaari. "I'VE always been eager about the auto - how it looks, its design and how it drives. It's an object of desire for we all. I USED TO BE fortunate to drive this machine. It's beautiful," Sharman said.
Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Ferrari Ki Sawaari, set to release June 15, also features Boman Irani.

Asked about his other projects, he said: "THERE'S A film being produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, directed by Tanuja Chandra.
