"Akshay is a habit that nobody can give up" Sajid Khan
Q.:
These
days
we
can
see
a
lot
of
changes
in
you.
Is
there
any
reason?
A.:
Thank
you
that
you
are
watching
my
physical
change
as
from
within
my
heart
I
am
still
the
same
Sajid.
Actually,
it"s
only
after
directing
the
film
that
I
came
to
know
how
it"s
required
to
look
good
in
front
of
the
camera.
When
I
was
an
anchor
I
used
to
think
as
people
are
interested
in
my
style
and
pranks
and
they
have
nothing
to
do
with
my
looks.
At
the
same
time,
I
am
impressed
with
Shahrukh
and
Akshay
who
are
not
affected
with
their
age.
Q.:
Are
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Akshay
Kumar
the
sole
reason
behind
your
change?
A.:
If
not
mostly,
then
of
course
in
some
ways.
I
was
little
careless
about
my
health
during
the
shooting
of
'Heyy
Babyy".
As
it
was
my
first
film
I
was
too
tensed.
I
used
to
smoke
at
least
100
to
150
cigarettes
a
day.
I
don"t
drink
and
that"s
why
I
used
to
release
my
tension
on
my
food.
I
used
to
get
my
bellyful
three
times
a
day.
And
despite
all
that
I
faced
problem
to
sleep.
I
had
only
four
hours
to
sleep
during
that
time.
When
Shahrukh
saw
me
in
that
state
he
said
either
Farha
or
me
was
pregnant.
After
that
I
decided
to
lose
weight
and
followed
Shahrukh
to
take
care
of
my
health.
Q.:
How
did
you
take
care
of
your
weight?
A.:
At
first
I
seek
the
help
from
the
trainer
of
"Biggest
Loser
Jeetega".
He
is
the
man
behind
the
magic
of
the
show.
After
attending
his
training
I
spend
the
day
on
balanced
diet.
In
that
way
I
eat
in
the
whole
day
just
a
tandoori
chicken,
three
glasses
of
protein
and
six
to
seven
biscuits
filled
with
protein.
I
have
been
living
on
that
diet
fro
last
three
months
and
I
would
have
to
live
the
next
six
months
on
the
same
diet.
I
have
reduced
19
kgs
and
I
have
to
reduce
my
body
weight
to
71
kgs
following
all
the
instructions.
Q.:
Would
you
like
to
have
six
packs
like
Shahrukh
Khan?
A.:
Yeah,
absolutely.
For
my
satisfaction
I
have
signed
a
film
which
will
be
somewhat
like
"Bheja
Fry".
I
am
the
leadoff
the
film.
It"s
a
small
budget
movie
and
I
cannot
disclose
the
names
of
the
director
and
producer
of
the
film.
And
please
don"t
ask
that
to
me.
Q.:
But
you
swore
not
to
work
in
films
after
your
first
film
"Jhooth
Bole
Kaua
Kaate".
A.:
I
never
swore
on
that,
but
yeah,
I
decided
in
that
way
only.
Actually,
I
didn"t
get
the
story
that
I
was
looking
for.
At
that
time,
no
one
could
even
think
that
someone
could
make
a
film
like
"Bheja
Fry" and
that
would
earn
crores
of
rupees.
I
can
remember
that
I
was
offered
the
role
of
the
friend
of
the
hero
in
a
film
under
a
big
banner
film.
Despite
the
offer
of
a
huge
amount
of
money
I
rejected
the
film.
I
never
worked
for
money.
What
I
think
is
whatever
you
do,
do
it
with
style
so
that
people
can
remember
you.
If
you
have
attitude
it"ll
get
shown
even
if
you
are
leaving
a
bus
and
for
that
you
don"t
need
a
Mercedes.
Q.:
Now
about
your
direction.
What"s
the
reason
that
you
started
your
second
film
without
taking
a
break
after
your
first
film?
A.:
Break
is
for
those
people
who
feel
tired
and
think
they
are
aged.
I
am
just
37.
I
am
not
married.
I
wish
whatever
I
do
becomes
simply
the
best
and
super
hit.
If
my
wish
becomes
true
then
it"ll
promote
my
brand
value.
Q.:
Please
tell
us
about
your
new
film.
A.:
Well,
about
my
new
film
I
would
like
to
say
only
that
it
has
three
heroines
and
two
heroes.
I
have
finalized
Akshay
Kumar
and
Riteish
Deshmukh,
but
still
I
have
to
think
about
the
leading
ladies.
But
I
can
say
these
three
ladies
will
be
the
most
well
known
actors
of
our
industry.
It"s
a
romantic
comedy.
We
will
start
shooting
in
September
this
year
and
most
of
it
will
be
in
New
York.
Milap
Jhaveri
and
Vibhakar
have
written
the
film.
We
are
now
working
on
the
third
drift
of
the
story.
We
will
complete
the
shooting
within
seven
days
and
I
have
decided
to
release
it
in
April
or
May
next
year.
Q.:
Your
last
film,
Heyy
Babyy,
was
rumoured
as
a
copied
story.
Will
you
copy
a
story
this
time
or
will
that
be
an
inspired
one?
A.:
Actually,
I
took
that
story
from
a
friend"s
tale
and
this
time
also
I
am
going
to
take
that
in
the
same
way.
If
that
matches
with
someone"s
life
I
have
nothing
to
do
with
that.
I
think
my
life
is
quite
colourful
and
I
would
like
to
input
some
of
that
colour
in
my
characters.
I
would
love
to
do
that.
Q.:
Will
Shahrukh
Khan
be
a
part
of
this
film?
A.:
No.
Till
now
I
have
not
decided
on
that.
I
would
like
to
make
a
complete
film
with
Shahrukh
Khan
under
my
direction.
If
I
get
a
story
to
work
with
him
I"ll
start
working
on
that.
Q.:
What
would
you
like
to
say
about
Sajid
Nadiadwala?
A.:
He
is
like
my
brother,
my
friend.
I
am
whole
heartedly
attached
to
him.
He
is
the
first
man
to
believe
in
me
and
to
invest
that
amount
of
money
in
my
film.
After
Heyy
Babyy
was
a
hit
a
lot
of
producers
requested
me
to
direct
their
movies.
They
even
offered
me
a
huge
amount
of
money,
but
I
rejected
all
of
them.
For
me
the
first
and
the
last
preference
is
Sajid.
Q.:
How
your
second
film
is
different
from
Heyy
Babyy?
A.:
It"ll
be
much
big
and
a
bigger
blockbuster
movie
than
the
first
one.
I
want
to
be
enlisted
among
those
directors
who
made
their
second
film
even
bigger
hit
than
their
first
one.
But,
at
the
same
time,
if
we
look
back
we
will
find
that
the
second
films
of
the
most
well
known
directors
have
flopped.
Q.:
Akshay
Kumar
is
your
favorite
hero.
What
would
you
like
to
say
about
him?
A.:
He
is
a
habit
that
no
one
can
give
up.
I
think
there
are
two
Akshays.
One
is
the
professional
guy
and
other
is
the
superstar
Akshay.
The
professional
Akshaye
has
become
a
superstar
and
never
the
vice
versa.
In
our
industry
we
have
four
superstars
–
Shahrukh,
Salman,
Aamir
and
Hrithik.
And
Akshay
is
the
fifth
superstar.
All
the
first
four
stars
became
superstars
with
their
first
films,
but
Akshay
took
14
years.
And
I
believe
he
will
remain
in
that
state
for
the
next
15
years.
The
reason
behind
that
is
his
connection
with
the
audience.
To
become
a
superstar
one
must
have
that
connection.
As
for
example
Shahrukh
has
a
better
connection
with
his
family
and
Aamir
has
good
connection
with
better
films.
Akshey
is
successful
because
of
his
punctuality.
People
have
always
talked
about
Akshay
as
he
cuts
others
role.
But
after
working
with
him
I
can
say
it"s
absolutely
wrong
and
I
know
how
he
co-operates
with
his
co-stars.
Q.:
Both
you
and
Farah
are
directors.
Have
you
ever
thought
of
working
as
co-directors?
A.:
Kaurav
and
Pandavas
cannot
work
together.
We
love
each
other
very
much,
but
we
cannot
work
with
each
other.
We
can
work
together
in
one
condition
and
that
is
if
any
one
of
us
sit
at
the
backstage.
We
can
never
be
like
"Abbas-Mustan".
Q.:
Would
you
appear
on
television
besides
working
in
films?
A.:
Yeah,
absolutely.
Television
is
my
life
and
I
cannot
live
without
that.
Whenever
I
have
time
I"ll
be
back
on
television.
