After a success like Jannat 2 (2008), why did you select to do a two-actress film, Raaz 3?
Initially, I wasn’t sure about Raaz 3 because I felt it was too soon to do one of these strong role. I thank Kunal Deshmukh (director of Jannat 2) who suggested my name to Vikram (Bhatt, Raaz 3 director) and Mukesh sir (Bhatt, producer of Raaz 3). They believed that I'LL pull it off.
You play a superstar within the film. How do you're thinking that the lifetime of a superstar is in real life?
In the film, there’s a senior actor (Bipasha Basu) and that i play an upcoming, in-demand actor, who makes others insecure. I don’t learn about real superstars, as IT'S NOT THAT I AM one yet (laughs). I clean my very own utensils, my house and that i even travel alone. I don’t know what the lifetime of a superstar is like.
After Jannat 2, you've gotten intimate scenes in Raaz 3 and in Prakash Jha’s Chakravyuh, opposite Arjun Rampal.
I don’t know why people make this type of big issue about intimate scenes. The media harps on about it, which makes it tougher for actors. In fact, Arjun and Emraan (Hashmi)are equally nervous about those scenes because in the event that they aren’t treated well, the scenes can look vulgar. We treated them identical to we'd treat a sad or comic scene.
What more or less interaction did you've got together with your co-star Bipasha Basu?
Bipasha and that i don’t have many scenes together. But she is my senior and i've been a fan since Jism (2003). I USED TO BE in awe of her. I couldn’t believe I USED TO BE hugging and talking to her.
Was it a conscious decision to play a glamorous actor in Raaz 3 after which a cop in Chakravyuh?
Both roles are acting oriented. The makers had faith in me to tug off these tough roles, so why would I turn them down? I don’t know the way exactly my role will develop into in Chakravyuh, as I DO KNOW the fundamental story but not the entire script, but I’m certain it is going to stand out. I AM HOPING the film brings enough attention to the problem of Naxalism.
