Riz has the potential to become an iconic character- Kay Kay
What
made
you
take
up
Drona?
I
think
primarily
the
script
and
the
scale
of
the
film.
And
of
course
the
character.
It
was
something
I
have
never
done
in
my
life.
Superheroes
are
someone
we
all
look
up
to
in
admiration.
Did
you
look
up
to
any
Superhero?
As
a
child
yes,
I
adored
many
superheroes
like
'Mandrake'
and
'Phantom',
all
the
comics
that
we
had
then.
Also,
there
is
'Batman'
and
'Superman'.
What
is
your
character
in
the
film
called
and
why?
My
character
is
called
'Riz
Raizada',
and
there
is
no
theory
as
to
how
that
was
formed
not
that
I
am
aware
of
it.
I
think
the
writer
just
thought
of
a
name
and
we
just
stuck
to
it.
When
the
character
was
narrated
to
you,
how
had
you
pictured
yourself?
Did
it
come
out
the
same
way?
We
had
to
work
a
lot
on
those
things.
Right
from
the
start,
Anahita
and
Ryan,
the
hair
stylist,
and
all
of
us
were
working
together
on
it.
From
designing
the
character,
his
looks,
his
costume,
his
make
up
and
hair
evolved
after
many
many
trials
and
then
finally
it
just
fell
into
place.
By
then
we
had
worked
out
so
many
looks
and
styles;
they
almost
molested
by
hair
with
so
many
gels
and
styling
products
but
the
result
was
fabulous.
Bollywood
has
a
list
of
negative
characters
like
'Mogambo',
'Sir
Juda';
do
you
think
your
character
would
become
part
of
that
league?
'Riz
Raizada'
does
have
all
the
potential
to
become
the
iconic
character.
The
way
he
has
been
created
itself
brings
together
the
right
ingredients
to
reach
that
level.
Tell
me
something
about
'Riz
Raizada'...
Riz
is
an
evil
character
who
has
been
carried
forward
for
generations
and
generations.
The
film
is
placed
in
the
modern
time
but
is
still
legendary.
His
whole
idea
and
ambition
is
to
become
the
most
powerful
man
in
the
universe
and
he
will
go
to
any
length
to
achieve
it.
In
spite
of
being
evil
he
uses
his
dark
humor
to
amuse
himself.
Tell
me
about
some
of
the
stunts
that
you
have
done
in
Drona.
Was
it
difficult?
Not
really,
because
essentially
I
am
a
sports
person
so
for
me
action
was
not
a
problem.
In
addition
to
that,
we
had
trained
a
lot
for
the
scenes
in
the
film.
Both
Abhishek
and
I
would
practice
our
sword
fights
for
days
just
in
order
to
make
sure
that
no
one
gets
hurt
in
the
action
sequence.
And
I
think
once
I
have
done
a
sequence,
it
no
longer
becomes
difficult.
I
found
the
role
and
the
entire
journey
of
Drona
very
intriguing
and
enjoyable.
For
me,
it
is
like
a
role
I
never
thought
I
would
do.
The
film
brings
in
the
whole
feel
of
fantasy
and
makes
it
so
real.
It
feels
like
we
have
gone
back
to
our
childhood
when
our
imaginations
knew
no
limit.
Which
is
your
favorite
action
film?
Favorites
are
something
I
generally
do
not
like
to
answer
coz
I
can
never
choose
from
so
many.
The
list
of
great
action
movies
is
so
long
like
The
Batman
series,
Spiderman,
Indiana
Jones,
Steven
Spielberg
films,
the
Die
Hard
series
and
now
among
Hindi
films
you
will
have
Drona.
Tell
us
about
your
equation
with
Abhishek
Bachchan.
Absolutely
good,
we
did
Sarkar
together,
and
now
we
are
in
Drona
together.
He
is
absolutely
jovial
on
the
sets
he
has
a
very
good
sense
of
humor
and
he
keeps
the
entire
unit
lively
and
happy.
What's
your
take
on
Goldie
Behl's
direction?
Goldie
is
a
perfectionist
and
his
imagination
is
absolutely
fertile.
The
way
he
has
written
the
script
itself
is
a
proof
of
that.
Because
when
I
read
the
script
first
time,
I
was
like
completely
taken
into
the
film.
Secondly,
He's
completely
open
to
improvising,
productive,
and
quick
in
his
thinking
which
helps
the
actor
a
lot.
Goldie
was
very
receptive
to
everyone's
ideas;
it
was
the
collaborative
effort
of
the
entire
team.
He
is
as
wild
as
I
am,
so
it
helped
a
lot.
What
locations
were
selected
to
shoot
the
film
and
the
place
you
enjoyed
shooting
the
most?
I
think
Prague,
which
is
in
Czechoslovakia,
was
brilliant
and
it
has
a
unique
nature
to
it.
I
think
a
lot
of
money
was
spent
on
finding
the
perfect
location
and
shooting
in
that
perfect
place
with
the
right
art
director.
Riz's
character
was
very
expensive
along
with
his
huge
army
of
500
soldiers
known
as
the
'black
hood
army'.
Their
faces
are
not
seen
as
they
have
a
hood,
then
their
horses.
A
lot
of
money
was
spent
even
on
the
architecture
of
the
castle,
which
was
a
combination
of
Victorian
and
gothic.
It
looked
both
majestic
and
evil
at
the
same
time.
Priyanka
has
also
done
stunts
in
the
film.
Did
you
see
any
of
those
shots
if
yes
then
how
would
you
rate
her
as
an
action
star?
I
have
seen
some
of
them
and
she
is
absolutely
fabulous.
I
think
she
is
a
completely
flexible
Rambo.
Throughout
the
entire
film
what's
your
favorite
scene
in
the
film?
I
have
seen
most
of
the
film
because
special
effects
were
going
on
and
I
am
out
of
words
to
describe
it.
I
think
all
the
scenes
have
a
high
point
because
I
had
to
play
someone
so
different
and
I
had
to
play
Riz
in
the
realm
of
a
certain
madness
and
to
a
certain
extent
it
was
a
bit
funny.
So
it
was
challenge
doing
each
one
of
them.
Tell
us
something
about
the
music
of
the
film
and
your
favorite
song.
I
think
Dhurv
has
done
a
wonderful
job,
my
favorite
number
would
be
this
song
called
'Teri
Bandagi'.
It's
a
wonderful
song.
Could
you
share
with
us
one
memorable
moment
of
shooting
with
the
entire
cast
and
crew?
I
think
the
entire
journey
of
Drona
if
it
was
to
be
condensed
in
the
moment
that's
the
one
moment.
Every
time
I
wore
the
costume,
I
felt
extremely
majestic
and
powerful
then
the
kind
of
decor
I
was
standing
in
felt
very
powerful.
What
else
is
in
the
pipeline?
I'm
doing
a
film
titled
Aagese
Right
for
UTV
Spot
Boy
Production,
then
a
couple
of
films
with
Anurag
Kashyap
which
would
probably
start
some
time
in
December.
Then
an
untitled
film
with
Mr.
Sudhir
Mishra
and
an
action
drama
and
complete
dhamaal
film
with
Shilpa
Shetty
Productions.
So
far
these
things
are
in
the
pipeline.
Lastly,
any
message
to
your
fans
and
moviegoers.
Nothing,
I
shall
continue
to
do
better
and
better
whatever
roles
I
play.
That
is
a
promise
I
can
make
to
the
audience.
And
to
watch
Drona.
