You started your career with Ekta Kapoor's Telly soap 'Kasam Se'. Now OUATIM is also being produced by Ekta Kapoor. Was it like homecoming for you?
Everybody thinks that it must be like coming back home and reconnecting. Yes, that feeling was definitely there. But, at the same time, it was absolutely different experience because that team and this team are totally different. The film department is completely different from the TV department. This team (film) was alien to me. But doing this film had been one of my favourite experiences just like ROCK ON.
Your first film ROCK ON was in 2008, LIFE PARTNER released in 2009 and now OUATIM is releasing in 2010. Are you going the Aamir Khan way of doing one film in a year?
Oh my God! You can't put me in the same line, even subjectively in a sentence. ROCK ON was the best way in which I could have been launched. But after that it had to be something which I had not done before. Hence, I opted for LIFE PARTNER, which was a comedy. Now, it's OUATIM, which is based in the 70s. In between, I did not want to rush and be around because I was offered a lot of films. I did not feel it was the right thing to do. The best way was to take it slow and easy. One film decides your fate so easily. I was scared of making mistakes. That's why I took it slow. Now, that I am a part of it since the past two years, I know what I am doing. I am a lot more comfortable. I have understood the film world much better. I can take my decisions easily. Also, JOKER will be releasing before the end of the year. So, it won't be one film at a time (laughs). People shouldn't be watching me too much also.
