Suneil Shetty on One Two Three
Q.:
There
are
three
Lakshmi
Narayan's
stories
in
the
film
One
Two
Three.
Please
tell
us
about
the
Lakshmi
Narayan
you
are
playing.
A.:
What
would
I
say
about
my
character?
He
thinks,
understands
and
more
than
that,
he
asks
a
lot
of
questions.
Actually
he
is
a
perfectionist.
He
is
very
innocent,
but
at
the
same
time
he
is
very
irritating
too.
If
someone
asks
him
to
sit
down,
he
will
ask
where
to
sit
i.e.
on
the
sofa
or
in
a
chair.
If
he
is
requested
to
sit
on
sofa,
then
he
will
ask
his
probable
position
on
the
sofa
i.e.
right
or
left.
If
the
answer
is
left,
then
his
question
would
be
extreme
left
or
straight
left.
One
fine
day,
he
gets
entangled
in
a
dangerous
gang
and
you
just
have
to
watch
how
he
disturbs
all
the
gangsters.
They
all
feel
so
frustrated
that
they
just
want
to
kill
him
at
any
cost.
Ashwini
has
created
a
situational
comedy
at
its
best
and
for
that
reason,
each
character
in
the
film
has
become
equally
important.
Q.:
Did
you
face
any
difficulty
during
the
shooting
as
there
were
three
characters
of
the
same
name?
A.:
First
thing
is
that,
three
characters
having
the
same
name
in
the
film
is
the
added
attraction
to
this
film.
Three
of
them
are
from
different
cities
and
attached
to
different
businesses.
But
the
situation
becomes
quite
chaotic
while
they
enter
and
stay
in
the
same
hotel.
But
we
had
no
problem
in
the
set
because
of
having
same
name.
I
am
really
happy
doing
the
film
as
after
Hera
Pheri,
this
is
the
second
movie
in
my
career
that
offers
equal
importance
to
all
characters.
Q.:
One
Two
Three
is
the
first
film
by
Ashwini
Dheer.
How
was
the
experience
of
working
with
him?
A.:
I
am
a
die
hard
fan
of
Ashwini
Dheer
because
of
his
comic
series
Office
Office.
He
doesn't
look
for
only
comedy.
His
lookout
is
to
see
how
he
can
hit
problems
in
our
society.
He
knows
how
to
speak
his
words
without
creating
hyper
drama.
You
can
see
the
same
impact
in
this
film
also.
He
never
let
us
feel
that
he
is
making
a
film
for
the
first
time.
Q.:
What
did
you
find
so
special
about
the
character
that
you
accepted
the
film?
A.:
I
knew
that
Ashwini
is
a
good
writer.
I
knew
that
if
he
has
thought
of
me
to
do
a
character,
then
it
has
to
be
a
good
one.
When
he
came
to
me
with
the
story,
I
told
him
to
give
me
24
hours
to
think
over
the
matter.
Q.:
Did
you
find
any
difference
between
the
direction
of
Ashwini
and
Priyadarshan?
A.:
I
believe
Priyadarshan
is
not
a
teacher,
but
as
far
as
comedy
is
concerned,
he
is
the
best
teacher.
Everyone
praises
his
style
of
making
comedies.
He
doesn't
demand
but
commands
for
honor.
In
the
same
way,
Ashwini
has
his
own
way
of
treating
comedies
and
his
writing
skill
is
an
added
advantage.
What
I
feel
is
that
Ashwini
and
Priyadarshan
have
more
similarities
than
differences.
Q.:
The
young
Neetu
Chandra
is
acting
as
your
ladylove.
How
was
your
experience
of
working
with
her?
A.:
I
am
also
very
young.
As
far
as
I
can
understand,
her
character
in
the
film
is
most
challenging,
and
she
justified
well
with
her
character.
I
love
to
work
with
fresh
talents.
So,
I
just
enjoyed
working
with
Neetu.
Q.:
Once
again
Paresh
Rawal
is
seen
with
you
in
this
film.
What
would
you
like
to
say?
A.:
I
am
really
happy
having
him
with
me
in
this
film.
He
is
one
of
those
people
whom
I
really
respect.
I
am
sure
that
after
Hera
Pheri
famed
Babu
Bhaiya,
the
"Chaddi-banyan" seller
Lakshmi
Narayan
in
One
Two
Three
will
also
be
very
popular.
Along
with
their
get
up,
Paresh
Rawal
has
adopted
their
mannerism
also
very
well.
Q.:
Nowadays
you
are
doing
less
number
of
films.
Have
you
also
become
selective
like
others?
A.:
I
think
there
are
only
two
heroes
in
the
whole
industry
who
can
call
themselves
selective.
It's
sad
that
I
am
not
offered
hundreds
of
films
as
they
have.
I
merely
have
offer
of
ten
films
and
it's
not
necessary
that
I
accept
all
ten
of
them.
At
the
same
time,
I
am
happy
that
I
still
don't
feel
insecure.
My
production
house
"Popcorn
Entertainment"
is
now
producing
fifteen
films
simultaneously.
I
have
wiped
off
my
name
from
my
films
so
that
heroes
of
my
films
cannot
blame
me
that
my
character
was
better
than
theirs.
Q.:
Which
one
would
you
prefer
the
most
–
acting
or
producing?
A.:
Both.
I
enjoy
production
not
because
of
my
investment
in
them.
Besides
investment,
I
think
that
I
am
contributing
in
the
field
of
filmmaking.
My
films
are
not
purely
entertainment
based.
I
always
try
to
introduce
my
audience
with
various
social
and
national
issues.
As
in
"Mission
Istanbul",
we
are
showing
terrorism.
My
film
Mumbai
Chaka
Chak
inspires
people
to
keep
the
city
clean.
Mumbai
is
not
only
my
birth
place
but
also
the
city
that
gives
me
bread
and
butter.
I
know
my
responsibilities
to
this
city.
My
other
film
Little
Godfather
is
based
on
the
unity
of
people
of
Mumbai
during
the
bomb
blast
in
local
trains.
I
am
actually
enjoying
the
difference
in
subject
in
these
films.
I
have
also
decided
to
make
few
more
films,
but
this
is
not
the
right
time
to
talk
about
them.
For
the
time
being,
I
would
only
say
that
I
want
to
do
a
lot
and
I
have
lot
of
dreams
regarding
my
career.
Q.:
You
have
signed
few
films
with
Sanjay
Dutt.
Was
that
for
friendship
or
because
it
has
a
good
story
to
offer?
A.:
It's
because
of
the
story
that
I
took
Sanjay
in
my
film.
It'll
be
the
best
character
ever
for
Sanjay.
I
can
announce
that
for
all
the
people
who
have
witnessed
all
of
his
characters.
He
is
looking
fantabulous
in
this
film.
He
is
like
my
brother.
We
don't
need
to
talk
to
understand
each
other.
As
far
as
money
is
concerned,
I
will
pay
him
the
same
amount
that
other
producers
do.
I
am
not
like
those
people
who
utilize
friendship
for
their
own
profit.
Q.:
Is
there
any
reason
of
making
films
in
collaboration
with
Balaji
Production?
A.:
Yes,
because
of
the
honor
and
respect
that
they
pay
me.
When
I
met
Ekta
for
the
first
time,
she
recapped
what
she
told
her
father.
I
still
remember
as
she
said,
"If
I
have
to
start
something,
that'll
be
with
Suniel
only".
It
really
touched
me.
You
must
know
that
we
have
decided
to
make
seven
films
together,
but
we
have
not
gone
for
any
contract
yet.
I
consider
them
as
my
best
support.
Q.:
Have
you
ever
thought
of
becoming
a
director?
A.:
Not
at
all.
I
am
very
happy
as
the
producer.
Q.:
You
have
played
so
many
characters.
Do
you
still
dream
of
any
character?
A.:
Yeah.
If
I
have
a
chance,
then
I
would
like
to
play
the
character
of
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
Sharabi.
I
think
a
complex
character
like
this
is
really
rare.
Just
imagine
that
he
is
smiling,
though
he
is
not
happy.
He
hates
his
father,
but
that
hatred
couldn't
overpower
his
character.
It's
simply
amazing.
