Ramesh
Khattar
What
is
Toss
all
about?
Toss
is
about
the
ever
changing
human
psyche.
It
portrays
the
very
magnitude
and
the
set
of
beliefs
that
we
have
in
our
everyday
lives.
See
we
perceive
most
things
in
our
life
and
believe
in
our
perceptions
but
how
do
we
know
what
we
believe
is
true.
This
is
the
question
we
plan
to
raise
in
the
movie.
It
might
sound
a
bit
too
much
to
digest
to
start
with
but
the
audience
will
surely
know
what
I
am
speaking
once
they
watch
the
movie.
What
is
the
main
theme
of
the
movie?
It
is
small
incidents
that
can
change
your
life.
See
you
might
have
a
tyre
burst
in
the
middle
of
the
road
and
your
story
for
the
day
might
be
changed.
That
is
what
the
idea
is
to
see
how
uncertainties
shape
up
our
lives.
Toss
as
we
know
is
a
thriller
what
are
your
expectations
from
it?
Toss
is
not
a
thriller,
I
don't
know
how
people
started
calling
it
a
thriller.
Its
a
movie
which
talks
about
the
human
relationship
nature
in
everyday
life.
I
would
call
it
a
relationship
movie.
The
movie
will
surely
connect
well
with
the
audience.
With
the
Swine
Flu
outbreak
in
Maharashtra
are
you
a
bit
sceptical
about
the
performance
of
the
movie
in
the
affected
areas?
Well
initially
we
were
a
bit
worried
after
the
theatres
were
shut
down
last
week
but
now
with
the
theatres
opening
again
we
are
confident
about
doing
well.
There
is
also
a
conspiracy
theory
going
on
that
many
cases
aren't
swine
flu
either.
A
friend
of
mine
who
is
doctor
said
that
people
have
gone
into
a
panic
mode
and
are
worried
more
than
they
should
be.
You
are
working
with
a
mix
of
experienced
and
fresh
faces
in
the
movie.
How
was
the
experience
shooting
with
the
cast?
The
experience
was
really
good
all
of
them
delivered
what
I
wanted
from
them.
Aarti,
Asmit,
Zakir
Hussain,
Rajpal
Yadav
and
Mahesh
Manjerekar
were
all
experienced
and
Shruti
Gere,
Madhurima
Banerjee
and
Ranvijay
blended
in
well.
In
fact
I
was
introduced
to
Ranvijay
by
a
common
friend
and
when
I
watched
him
on
Roadies,
I
zeroed
on
in
him
as
he
had
what
I
wanted
in
the
character
Ryan.
The
audience
won't
expect
anything
out
of
the
character
and
that's
what
I
wanted.
Aarti
Chhhabria
bring
in
the
glamour
element
to
the
movie.
What
is
her
character
all
about?
Sahsa
the
character
that
Aarti
plays
is
completely
unlike
her.
Sahsa
is
a
fun
loving
girl
independent
girl
with
a
bundle
of
jokes
who
has
no
remorse
in
life
and
believes
in
living
for
the
day.
She
doesn't
have
moral
conflict
which
was
very
important
for
the
script.
The
script
being
three
dimensional
needed
Sahsa
not
to
carry
any
moral
baggage.
Aarti
got
under
the
skin
of
the
character
in
no
time
and
this
will
surely
be
one
character
in
which
the
audience
will
take
notice
of
Aarti.
Since
Toss
is
your
directorial
debut
are
there
butterflies
in
your
stomach?
There
are
butterflies
of
course
but
I
am
anxious
more
than
happy.
But
I
have
put
my
vision
in
the
movie.
When
I
saw
the
final
print
I
was
happy
as
I
had
done
exactly
what
I
wanted
to
do
in
the
movie.
The
entire
cast
gave
me
what
I
wanted
from
the
movie.
Ashmit Patel
What
is
the
your
character
Josh
like?
Someone
with
a
lot
of
Josh
in
his
life.
He
is
the
leader
of
the
group
without
anyone
having
to
elect
him.
He
is
an
aggressive
marketing
professional
who
works
with
Sami
(Prashant
Raj).
He
believes
in
results
and
is
willing
to
go
after
them.
He
believes
in
taking
challenges
head
on
and
that
makes
him
the
leader
among
all
his
friends.
You
are
known
to
have
a
distinct
sex
appeal.
Is
that
reflected
in
the
character
of
Josh?
(Laughs)
Well
all
I
can
say
is
Josh
has
a
very
distinct
character.
There
will
be
many
aspects
in
his
career
which
is
similar
to
mine
and
many
will
be
completely
different
from
me
in
life.
How
was
it
working
with
Ramesh
Khattar
since
it
was
his
directorial
debut?
He
was
awesome
from
the
word
go
and
knew
exactly
what
he
wanted
from
all
his
starts.
He
would
not
settle
for
anything
less
than
perfection
and
it
was
a
great
experience
for
me
to
have
worked
in
his
directorial
debut.
Prashant Raj
Tell
us
something
about
your
character
Sami?
Well,
I
play
the
lead
character
Sami
in
the
movie.
He
is
a
intensely
talented
and
serious
person
who
is
the
creative
head
of
a
leading
ad
agency.
He
is
honest
and
upfront
and
a
doting
lover.
His
lover
Sasha
leads
him
to
a
point
where
he
is
faced
with
a
situation
bought
in
by
a
toss
of
coin.
Here
he
suffers
from
a
dual
character
syndrome
where
he
has
to
make
a
difficult
choice
in
his
life.
Your
last
movie
Ram
Gopal
Varma
Ki
Aag
had
bombed.
What
is
the
major
difference
between
the
two
movies?
I
didn't
direct
Aag
so
can't
say
anything
about
it.
The
major
difference
in
Toss
are
my
co-stars
who
are
of
the
same
age
unlike
Aag
where
I
was
working
with
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Mohanlal
and
would
always
have
to
look
up
at
them.
I
would
like
to
say
that
was
a
kind
of
internship
in
my
life
but
I
learnt
a
lot
there.
My
character
in
Toss
is
much
more
flexible
than
it
was
in
Aag
and
so
it
was
much
easier
enacting
it.
We
heard
stories
that
you
had
to
loose
weight
for
the
movie?
The
script
required
me
to
look
a
simple
advertising
professional
so
I
had
to
shed
some
muscles
to
get
that
look.
I
lost
10-12
pounds
for
the
movie.
Shruti Gera
What
is
your
character
Fiyona
like?
Fiyona
is
a
catholic
girl
whose
love
for
God
is
guided
by
her
choice.
She
is
in
a
live
in
relationship
with
her
boyfriend
whon
she
loves
very
much.
She
is
a
god
fearing
person
who
sings
in
the
church.
One
incident
happens
and
changes
her
life
for
ever
and
the
truth
becomes
too
much
for
her
to
handle.
Since
Toss
is
your
debut
movie
how
was
it
working
with
seasoned
strars?
It
was
great
experience
to
shoot
with
them
and
watch
them
give
shots.
I
was
quite
apprehensive
in
the
beginning
as
all
of
them
had
faced
the
camera
before
and
I
was
a
newcomer
but
all
of
them
made
me
feel
comfortable.
I
did
not
act
with
Rajpal
Yadav
but
just
watched
him
during
his
takes.
I
have
been
a
great
fan
of
his
since
the
day
I
watched
Main
Madhuri
Dixit
Banna
Chahti
Hoon
Shruti
after
Toss,
what
are
the
other
films
that
you
are
doing?
Well
I
am
certainly
in
talks
with
some
directors
and
producers
but
it
will
be
too
early
to
speak
of
them
right
now.
In
the
due
course
of
time
I
will
let
them
be
known.
