In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero's role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.

Whatever you do, do it from the heart

Every film for every actor is a make-or-break film. I believe every film has the power to break you or make you. So, an actor will treat every film like his last film. That's the way we need to work, and that's the way you can drum up that passion needed to do good work.

The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.

A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It's as simple as that.

If people are looking forward to my films, then I am happy, and I must be doing something right.
