on

and
future
projects…
Tell
us
something
about
'Hide
N
Seek".
What"s
your
character
in
the
film?
I"m
playing
the
role
of
Abhimanyu
who"s
the
son
of
a
famous
industrialist
and
brother
of
Om
(Purab
Kohli)
in
the
film.
Abhimanyu
is
the
neglected
older
son,
always
jealous
of
Om
as
he"s
the
apple
of
his
parents" eye.
Basically
the
films
is
based
on
6
childhood
friends
who
start
playing
the
game
of
hide
and
seek
on
a
cold
Christmas
night
but
as
they
grow
up,
they
find
themselves
playing
the
same
game
in
a
fatal
way
which
changes
their
lives
forever.
How
does
it
change
their
lives
forever?
(Laughs)
You
want
me
to
tell
you
the
climax
of
my
film?
Seriously
watch
it!
It"s
a
mind-boggling
film.
All
your
co-stars
in
the
film
are
more
or
less
of
the
same
age
including
director
Shawn
Arranha.
How
was
it
working
with
Shawn?
I
think
Shawn
is
fantastic
with
his
directorial
skills.
After
a
long
time,
audience
would
be
able
to
see
a
good
suspense
flick
and
obviously
the
credit
of
a
good
suspense
film
always
goes
to
the
director.
From
a
TV
anchor
to
actor,
which
one
do
you
enjoy
the
most-
small
screen
or
big
screen?
Well
television
and
films
both
have
a
different
charm
and
you
cannot
compare
the
two!
I
was
17
when
I
started
off
my
career
in
Jain
TV
but
people
started
recognizing
me
only
when
I
hosted
a
sex
talk
show
along
with
Kamal
Sidhu
on
Zoom
TV.
Did
you
also
host
the
IPL
matches?
Yes
that"s
true!
I"ve
hosted
both
the
seasons
of
IPL
matches
and
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
as
I"m
a
huge
cricket
buff!
My
first
cricket
show
was
for
kids
on
Hungama
TV
called
'Indoor
Cricket
Tournament".
Tell
us
about
your
upcoming
films?
My
upcoming
films
are
Chase,
Chargesheet
and
Gandhi
Se
Pehle
Gandhi.
