On
2017
Being
His
Year
Ah
no,
2017
is
Indian
cinema's
year.
*laughs*
I
have
about
five
films
coming
up
next.
It's
just
mere
co-incidence
that
they
are
happening
simultaneously.
Script
Or
Director,
What
Matters
More
To
Him
First
is
the
story.
It
should
excite
me
and
make
me
want
to
be
a
part
of
it.
And
then
comes
to
who
is
directing
it
and
what's
my
character
going
to
be
in
the
film
followed
by
the
other
aspects.
On
How
He
Got
Trapped
Into
Vikramaditya
Motwane's
Latest
Outing
I
loved
the
story.
I
was
at
a
screening
when
Vikramaditya
Motwane
briefed
me
about
the
concept
and
asked
if
I
was
interested
to
do
it.
When
I
was
told
about
the
idea
I
immediately
gave
in.
Vikram
called
me
a
couple
of
months
later
and
we
took
things
forward
from
there.
On
The
Challenges
He
Faced
While
Shooting
The
Film
Trapped
was
quite
a
difficult
journey
for
me
as
an
actor.
My
character
Shaurya
is
going
through
so
much
in
the
film.
As
an
actor
I
had
to go
through similar
experiences
to
bring
in
that
honesty
in
my
act.
On
Nepotism
In
Bollywood
See,
I
don't
mind
supporting
an
industry
kid
but
the
only
thing
he
should
be
talented.
For
example,
whenever
I
have
a
child,
if
he
or
she
wants
to
be
an
actor
I
would
make
them
take
proper
training
so
that
I
could
be
proud
of
them,
their
performances
or
whatever
they
want
to
do.
I
don't
mind
it.
My
only
problem
is
if
somebody
is
not
talented
but
still
as
an
audience
I
am
bombarded
with
their
films.
But
luckily
that's
changing.
Our
audience
is
accepting
talent
now.
I
am
a
big
fan
of
Ranbir
Kapoor.
I
think
he
is
one
of
the
finest
actors
that
we
have.
Eventually
it's
your
work
that
takes
you
to
places.
Alia
Bhatt
is
immensely
talented.
So,
it's
your
work
which
speaks
for
you
and
nothing
else.
His
Take
On
Box
Office
Numbers
It
is
important
to
an
extent.
Everybody
wants
their
films
to
do
well
because
good
collection
means
that
many
people
have
seen
the
film.
I
want
my
producers
to
make
money
so
that
we
can
have
ten
more
Trapped.
On
Challenging
Himself
As
An
Actor
I
love
challenges.
As
an
actor
I
love
pushing
my
boundaries.
Otherwise
it
becomes
very
monotonous
if
you
keep
doing
the
same
thing.
There
is
no
fun
if
I
don't
do
anything
different.
That's
the
reason
why
I
keep
doing
different
films.
That's
my
high
as
an
actor.
The
Fear
Of
Beng
Stereotyped
In
my
case,
no,
not
at
all.
I
am
doing
such
different
films
and
playing
such
different
characters.
I
think
I
am
the
least
stereotyped
actor
in
Bollywood,
touchwood.
On
Dealing
With
Pressure
I
don't
want
to
think
about
that.
When
I
am
doing
a
film
I
am
living
that
part.
I
don't
think
about
the
pressure
and
that's
how
I
deal
with
it.
First
I
am
doing it
for
myself
,
else
that
won't
be
honest to
my
work.
The
rest
follows
and
things
fall
in
the
place.
His
Take
On
Dealing
With
Criticism
I
am
my
biggest
critic.
I
love
criticism
as
it
helps
me
grow
and
develop
as
an
actor.
I
love
it
when
people
tell
me
this
could
have
been
better
and
the
scenes
where
I
haven't
performed
my
cent
percent.
It
helps
me
push
myself
more
and
come
out
as
a
better
performer.
