Your plan to get married to Mumtaz’ daughter Natasha Madhvani has surprised many. I don’t see why. We’ve known each other since a very long time. Our families have known each other forever. Her mom and my dad did a lot of films together, including my dad’s first home production Apradh. It’s said that marriage changes a person? You can’t say that. I don’t think it happens. Plus it’s not required. Natasha and I are friends since a long time. We know our virtues and flaws. We accept each other’s virtues and ignore the flaws. We know when to give each other space and share a great understanding. Touch wood. I’m completely ready for it. I know it’s a new phase of life. I know marriage is a bed of compromises and sacrifices. Is it rosy on the career front too? (Smiles) I’m very excited. I have three releases this year. All seem very different from one another. No Entry has done well and Shaadi No 1 is too funny. Then I have Ek Khiladi, Ek Hasina which attempts something never done in our cinema (pauses). You are working with your dad in Ek Khiladi Ek Hasina. Surprisingly, your dad has done a project outside his own banner? Yeah. It was damn exciting to share screen space with him. He is awesome, still so stylish in everything he does. But don’t tell me that I was responsible for persuading him to accept the offer, for I wasn’t (laughs). Did he put inputs in your role in the film? Yes. I think his fatherly instincts never lessened. If he thought that I could do better, he would come and tell me to do another take or tell me to concentrate more. It’s surprising to see you doing a David Dhawan film (Shaadi No.1)? I always wanted to work in a David Dhawan film. It never worked out before. It’s fun to work in a comedy film. I am also doing another comedy- Pyare Mohan and I play Pyare. Indra Kumar and I had been discussing a possible project for more than a year. I think it’s going to be very funny. I couldn’t stop laughing when I heard the script. I really like the comic genre. I would love to do more of it. It’s addictive, I guess. Anything with dad under his banner? He’s working on a couple of scripts, something exciting will definitely materialise but nothing concrete as yet. You have changed. You are looking very upbeat? Life has its ups and downs. I have had my downs. Now is the time for ups. — TWF |
