What
really
is
the
dark
side
in
the
film
Red?
Every
human
emotion
has
a
dark
side
and
in
this
film,
that
is
exactly
what
we
are
trying
to
explore.
You
can
have
a
positive
approach
or
you
can
have
a
negative
approach
towards
the
darker
side
of
every
emotion,
whether
it
is
hatred,
jealousy,
anger,
or
pain.
Certain
incidents
in
your
life
bring
out
a
side
in
you
which
you
cannot
change,
and
that
is
what
Red
tackles.
Different
characters
experience
different
things
at
different
points
in
life,
and
a
tragedy
turns
everything
around,
and
brings
out
the
darker
side
of
nature
in
front
of
them.
What
does
the
colour
red
signify
in
the
movie?
Red
signifies
every
emotion
that
you
can
possibly
experience;
the
darker
side
of
every
emotion.
You
may
ask
why
red
and
not
black,
because
every
dark
emotion
is
not
a
black
emotion.
Tell
us
what
genre
does
Red
really
fall
into?
It
is
a
new
genre;
it
is
the
French
noir
genre
for
sure
to
begin
with.
It
is
a
very
passionate,
dark,
erotic
love
story.
That
is
what
it
is...
first
of
its
kind.
How
is
it
working
with
Vikram
Bhatt?
It
was
amazing!
To
work
with
a
person
who
has
more
insight
into
human
beings
than
any
psychologist
is
an
experience
in
itself.
Vikram
Bhatt
is
a
busy
director
multi-tasking
with
many
films.
So
how
serious
was
he
about
this
film?
You
cannot
cheat
Vikram,
you
cannot
cheat
your
expressions,
you
have
to
be
serious
at
all
points
with
Vikram
and
it
is
amazing
because
after
Red
was
finished,
I
realized
that
I
have
grown
so
much
as
a
human
being
and
as
an
actor,
I
am
richer.
So
whatever
the
fate
of
Red
is,
it
will
always
help
me
because
it
made
me
grow
as
an
actor
and
as
a
human
being.
And
how
sizzling
is
your
chemistry
with
Aftab
Shivdasani?
That
is
for
you
to
tell
me,
I
cannot
really
comment
on
it
but
it
was
wonderful
working
with
Aftab
or
Faffy
as
we
call
him.
Faffy
has
been
a
thorough
gentleman,
a
wonderful
co-star,
and
very
co-operative.
He
always
has
great
inputs
for
the
scenes,
he
has
helped
me
and
co-operated
in
everything.
He
has
helped
me
make
my
intimate
scenes
happen,
and
I
did
the
same
for
him.
Any
sense
of
rivalry
with
Amrita?
Amrita
is
a
dear
friend.
She
has
played
a
very
distinct,
different
character
for
the
first
time
in
her
life
in
this
movie.
So
it
has
been
amazing
to
see
how
characters
can
add
so
many
different
dimensions
to
your
movies.
What
is
it
that
sets
Red
apart
from
other
films?
The
fact
that
Red
is
a
different
film.
It
explores
a
different
side
of
love.
It
is
a
story,
which
nobody
has
explored
yet.
It
is
a
passionate
story,
a
lot
of
people
will
be
able
to
associate
to
that
passion,
to
that
love,
to
that
depression,
to
that
grief,
every
human
emotion
is
there
and
everyone
will
connect
to
those
emotions.
Will
you
say
it
is
more
of
a
lust
story
than
a
love
story?
Lust
and
Love
are
synonymous
and
it
is
a
proven
fact
that
people
first
fall
in
lust
and
then
that
changes
into
love.
So
that
is
that.
Where
do
you
demarcate
between
love
and
lust?
You
never
know,
you
are
in
lust
sometimes
but
you
think
you
are
in
love.
And
when
you
are
in
love,
lust
is
a
part
of
it
naturally.
Only
if
you
lust
for
each
other,
can
you
fall
in
love
with
each
other.
What
is
your
take
on
sex
outside
marriage?
If
you
are
married
and
then
you
are
in
a
sexual
relationship
with
someone
else,
it
is
a
sacrilege.
You
cannot
do
that,
it
is
insulting
to
the
institution
of
marriage.
Tell
us
something
about
your
character?
I
am
a
grieving
widow,
a
young
girl
of
today's
generation,
educated
and
modern.
To
become
a
widow,
I
am
telling
you
the
fact
from
a
personal
experience
of
a
very
close
friend
of
mine,
at
the
age
of
21-22
is
life-shattering.
Your
whole
life
shatters
right
before
your
eyes.
It
is
incredible,
the
kind
of
grief
that
you
feel
and
yes,
I
connected
to
this
character
very
much.
I
guess
one
of
the
reasons
was
that
at
that
point
personally
also
in
life
I
was
going
through
a
lot
of
turmoil,
so
I
could
connect
to
that
grief.
If
not
the
same;
it
was
very
close
to
what
a
real
life
Anahita
would
feel.
Widow
re-marriage
is
a
sensitive
topic
in
a
country
like
India.
Do
you
think
that
the
Indian
audiences
would
accept
this
fact
in
the
movie?
Indian
audience
has
opened
up,
thanks
to
cable
invasion,
internet
and
everything,
so
I
am
sure
they
will
accept
this
issue.
Your
last
film
Apna
Sapna
Money
Money
was
a
comedy,
so
how
much
have
you
worked
for
your
role
in
Red,
which
is
very
different?
We
could
not
do
any
research
on
the
character
because
these
characters
are
not
easily
available.
This
is
not
a
character
you
can
just
pick
up
from
the
road.
This
is
a
very
well
created
character.
There
were
hours
and
hours
of
meetings
with
Vikram
for
this
character
-
about
how
she
should
talk,
how
she
should
look,
what
should
be
her
make-up,
what
should
her
clothes
be
like,
etc.
Speaking
about
your
look
in
the
film,
did
you
specially
work
for
it?
Yes,
we
had
special
black
contacts
made
for
the
film,
my
hair
was
dyed
to
a
simple
black,
and
the
clothes
are
a
certain
cut
only.
There
is
hardly
any
make-up
I
have
applied
in
the
film,
just
eye-liner
and
kajal
in
most
places.
So
the
characters
have
been
worked
upon
from
all
aspects.
