These
days,
almost
every
other
television
actor
nurtures
the
dream
of
making
it
big
in
Bollywood.
But
there
are
just
a
few
like
Kay
Kay
Menon
who
have
made
the
transition
and
succeeded.
The
talented
actor
talks
about
his
upcoming
film
Sirf.
What
is
your
character
in
Sirf?
I
play
a
business
tycoon
who
is
so
engrossed
in
his
work
that
he
does
not
even
spare
time
for
his
family
or
his
wife.
He
believes
that
whatever
he
is
doing
is
for
them.
Manisha
(Koirala)
is
playing
my
wife
in
the
film.
Can
you
relate
to
this
character?
The
story
is
such
that
most
people
would
be
able
to
identify
with
it.
The
grass
is
always
greener
on
the
other
side.
Most
of
us
find
other
people's
lives
better
than
ours.
The
characters
in
the
story
portray
this
dilemma.
How
is
your
on
screen
chemistry
with
Manisha?
I'm
working
with
Manisha
for
the
first
time
and
so
far
it
has
been
a
good
experience.
You
will
find
out
about
the
chemistry
when
you
watch
the
film.
Why
did
you
move
from
art
cinema
to
commercial
cinema?
What
is
art
cinema?
There
is
nothing
called
art,
commerce
or
science
cinema.
I
know
only
cinema.
If
today
people
are
appreciating
Shivaji,
they
are
appreciating
it.
There
would
be
no
point
asking
them
why
they
are
liking
it?
Apart
from
Haazaron
Khwahishey
Aisi,
all
my
films
were
so-called
commercial
films.
According
to
you
Bhopal
Express
or
Black
Friday
might
be
art
movies,
but
I
differ.
I
would
not
be
able
to
distinguish
between
films.
Someone
first
has
to
explain
to
me
the
meaning
of
an
art
film.
Do
you
miss
theatre
since
you
stepped
into
films?
No
at
all.
I
used
to
act
there
and
I'm
acting
here
also.
What
I
miss
are
the
rehearsals.
When
you
are
doing
films
you
do
not
get
time
for
rehearsals.
I
would
have
loved
to
do
theatre
but
each
show
needs
at
least
two
months
of
preparation.
As
of
now,
I
do
not
have
so
much
time.
Some
people
do
manage
to
perform
after
just
a
week's
preparation,
but
I'm
not
one
of
them,
I
need
time.
How
has
your
professional
journey
been
till
now
?
It
as
been
full
of
sufferings,
but
I'm
really
happy
that
my
efforts
have
paid
off
and
people
have
appreciated
me.
I
have
achieved
what
I
had
wanted.
How
was
the
experience
of
Honeymoon
Travels,
especially
the
dance
sequence?
I
prefer
being
humorous
than
being
funny
in
films.
In
Honeymoon,
I
got
the
opportunity
to
play
a
humorous
character.
The
dance
was
demanded
by
the
script
and
many
people
liked
it.
Now
if
you
too
think
that
Kay
Kay
Menon
is
a
good
dancer,
then
I
would
be
rather
surprised.
Who
are
your
good
friends
in
the
industry?
No
one.
My
life
is
my
best
friend.
I
am
neither
friend
nor
foe
to
anyone.
I'm
happy
by
myself.
You
are
a
South
Indian,
have
you
ever
thought
of
doing
South
Indian
films?
I
am
from
the
South.
I
know
Tamil
and
Telegu,
but
not
so
well
that
I
can
do
films
in
these
languages.
Instead
of
spending
time
on
mastering
the
language,
I
could
easily
act
in
a
couple
of
Hindi
or
English
films.
Do
you
want
to
work
in
a
Hollywood
movie?
Not
at
all.
I'm
not
interested
in
Hollywood
films.
There
Indian
actors
are
not
given
proper
exposure.
They
either
get
to
play
an
Indian
character
or
a
Pakistani
one.
Moreover,
I
find
non-Asian
films
and
non-Asian
characters
pretty
boring.
Are
you
really
playing
a
ghost
in
.Sarkar
2?
Well,
even
I
have
heard
so.
Two
of
your
films
Highway
No.
203
and
Paanch
are
stuck?
Any
particular
reason?
Yes,
both
the
films
are
ready
but
I
do
not
know
what
is
taking
them
so
long
to
get
released.
I'm
also
not
enquiring
about
them
frequently
since
I
do
not
take
too
much
tension
after
I
have
finished
shooting.
I'm
more
passionate
about
my
acting.
Have
you
been
influenced
by
someone
in
this
industry?
I
don't
think
there
is
anyone
in
this
industry
who
can
influence
me.
Nor
am
I
related
to
any
bigshot.
But
I
can
bet
that
if
I
ever
get
influenced,
my
idol
will
not
be
related
to
films.
Your
favourites
among
directors?
Markand
Deshpande
and
Anurag
Kashyup.
Which
other
films
are
you
doing
besides
Sirf?
I'm
also
doing
Goldy
Behl's
Drona.
I
have
a
grey
shade
in
this
film.
Then
I
have
Samar
Khan's
Shourya,
Arindam
Nandy's
Via
Darjeeling,
Anjan
Dutta's
BBD
(Binoy
Badal
Dinesh),
which
is
a
political
thriller.
Plus,
I'm
also
there
in
Marakand
Deshpande's
fiction
film
Dream
Man.
