A
new
face
on
the
block.
You
might
have
caught
a
glimpse
of
him
in
Kya
Mujhe
Pyar
Hai
and
lot
more
of
him
in
the
remix
song
from
the
film
Woh
Lamhe.
He
is
Shaad
Randhawa,
nephew
of
yesteryear
screen
legend
Mumtaz,
this
young
man
has
come
into
his
own
though.
First
and
foremost
tell
us
how
you
bagged
this
role?
I
would
say
because
of
lots
of
perseverance
and
patience.
I
kept
on
following
up
with
Mohit
Suri
and
Mahesh
Bhatt.
I
always
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
Woh
Lamhe
mainly
because
it
is
a
very
prestigious
project.
Did
you
always
want
to
become
an
actor?
Yes.
It
was
always
my
dream
to
become
an
actor.
Tell
us
something
about
Woh
Lamhe
Woh
Lamhe
is
loosely
based
on
Parveen
Babi's
life.
There
is
romance
between
Shiny
Ahuja
and
Kangana
Ranaut.
It
is
a
love
story.
What
is
your
role
all
about?
I
have
a
key
role
in
this
film.
I
play
a
superstar
who
affects
the
relationship
between
Shiny
and
Kangana.
He
is
a
volatile
fellow
and
has
quite
a
few
grey
shades
to
his
character.
He
is
power
driven
star
and
doesn't
like
defeat.
He
is
basically
on
the
borderline
of
arrogance.
How
was
it
like
working
with
Kangana
Ranaut
and
Shiny
Ahuja?
Kangana
is
a
very
sweet
and
nice
person.
She
made
me
very
comfortable
while
we
were
doing
our
scenes.
As
for
Shiny,
he
is
a
very
professional
and
thinking
actor.
He
is
very
mature
and
I
learnt
a
lot
from
him.
The
Bhatts
have
always
been
associated
with
good
music
and
Woh
Lamhe
is
no
exception
Excellent,
excellent
music.
And
I
am
not
just
saying
it
because
it
is
my
film.
The
song
'Kya
Mujhe
Pyar
Hai' is
rocking
the
charts.
Then
there
is
a
ghazal
'Tu
Jo
Nahi
Hai'
which
has
the
Mahesh
Bhatt
stamp
on
it.
'Bin
Tere
Kya
Hai'
is
a
love
song
and
'Chal
Chale'
is
a
nice
and
loungy
song.
Kya
Mujhe
Pyar
Hai
has
been
inspired
though?
Really?
Well,
which
music
is
original
these
days?
You
hear
remixes
which
are
blatantly
copied.
I
don't
think
it
is
an
out
an
out
copy.
Any
fun
moments
on
the
sets?
Lots.
Mohit
Suri
is
an
excellent
director.
I
am
extremely
lucky
that
I
have
made
my
debut
in
his
film.
The assistant director said that I should use the clap-board for one scene and I told him I don't know a thing about it. So he wrote a lot of gibberish and said I should say this in front of the camera to begin the shot. I said all that non-sense and the whole unit burst out laughing. It was really fun.
Did
your
co-stars
pick
on
you
considering
that
they
are
a
few
films
older
than
you?
No,
not
at
all!
No
one
made
me
feel
that
I
am
new.
The
direction
department
and
camera
department
made
me
feel
really
comfortable.
How
come
you
are
being
sidelined
in
the
promotions?
Well,
film-making
is
a
business
in
the
end.
Shiny
and
Kangana
gave
a
hit
in
Gangster
and
they
are
known
faces.
I
am
not
questioning
Vishesh
films.
The
film
is
a
love
story
between
Kangana
and
Shiny
and
that
is
what
is
being
promoted.
What
is
more
important
is
that
people
see
the
promos
and
come
to
watch
the
film.
Your
comments
on
the
Bhatts
Working
with
them
is
like
working
with
family.
Mahesh
Bhatt
gave
me
a
break
and
I
will
always
be
grateful
to
him.
He
has
achieved
so
much
in
life
but
he
is
so
unassuming
and
down
to
earth.
What
is
the
USP
of
the
film?
Mohit
Suri's
passion
for
making
this
film
and
his
conviction
What
else
are
you
doing?
There
are
talks
for
a
couple
of
projects
with
the
Bhatts
but
nothing
is
yet
finalized.
Was
it
an
advantage
considering
that
your
aunt
Mumtaz
was
an
essential
part
of
this
industry?
No!
In
fact
my
aunt
told
me
that
she
had
initially
struggled
in
her
career
and
came
up
eventually.
She
advised
me
to
go
do
everything
myself.
Mahesh
Bhatt
and
Mohit
Suri
did
not
take
me
because
I
was
related
to
anyone.
It
was
my
own
persistence
that
fetched
me
this
role.
