I've been reading a lot of books on history, and watching a lot of educational TV. Wikipedia too, even though it is not reliable.

I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.

All of the films I'm doing are young, urban, high-concept, funny films. That's the zone where I'd like to play and have fun in.

In a big Bollywood romantic film, taking my shirt off and spreading the hand towards the mountain with dancers behind me are not my cup of tea.

I'm a stand-up comedian-turned-actor-turned-vampire at night.

I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.

To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.
