Can
you
give
an
insight
about
your
role
in
Nanu
Ki
Jaanu?
I
am
playing
Nanu,
who
is
basically
a
criminal,
like
who
takes
over
someone
else's
home
and
sell
it
further
for
more
money.
Then
a
ghost
enters
his
life.
After
that
his
life
doesn't
remain
the
same.
The
story
has
an
ironical
touch.
You
are
always
known
for
a
bit
offbeat
cinema.
What
attracted
you
to
Nanu
Ki
Jaanu?
I
go
for
something
which
I
can
relate
to,
which
I
understand.
And
this
is
relatable
for
me.
It's
very
hard
to
strike
a
balance
between
horror
and
comedy,
it's
very
challenging
and
that
was
very
attractive
for
me.
Your
last
film
was
in
2016.
You
have
a
great
fan
following,
fans
want
to
see
you
more,
but
why
fewer
films?
I
like
to
be
more
prolific
but
it
doesn't
happen.
Like
I
do
get
people
approaching
me.
But
I
think
it's
tough
making
independent
kind
of
films.
It's
a
market
driven
industry
and
I
always
take
chance
to
do
a
film
with
people
who
don't
have
a
track
record.
So
unfortunately,
by
nature
of
what
I
do,
it
becomes
slow.
But
this
year
I
signed
two
more
movies.
And
in
the
last
one
year
I
have
worked
in
approximately
five
movies.
So
yeah,
today
a
lot
more
people
are
going
ahead
with
out
of
the
box
formula
and
so
I
find
myself
saying
'yes' to
many
more
scripts.
What
do
you
see
in
a
script
before
signing
a
film?
Every
film
is
like
an
extension
of
yourself.
You
are
making
a
statement
with
everything
you
do.
At
least
I
think
that
way.
Are
you
open
to
a
director
coming
and
covincing
you
for
a
movie,
or
adamant
on
your
choice
of
films?
I
am
open
to
people
convincing
me
otherwise,
I
don't
go
with
the
thought
that
I
know
it
all.
So
when
someone
who
is
very
sure
of
themselves
approaches
me,
it's
good
that
at
least
they
have
a
confidence
on
their
craft.
So
yeah,
I
am
open
to
people
convincing
me.
And
earlier
I
have
done
films
which
I
unnecessarily
felt
I
can
relate
to
and
they
have
done
ok.
Do
you
regret
any
movie
which
you
rejected
thinking
it
to
be
a
mediocre
film?
I
have
rejected
some
films
which
I
thought
were
mediocre
which
when
I
saw
they
were
still
mediocre
but
had
done
good
business.
So
I
don't
have
regrets.
I
don't
care
if
it
gets
embraced
by
the
whole
public.
As
I
said,
a
film
is
like
an
extension
of
myself.
It
may
be
good
for
the
other
'xyz' actor,
but
it's
not
good
for
me.
May
be
it
wouldn't
run,
if
i
would
have
done
it.
As
soon
as
your
name
is
attached
to
a
film,
people
have
certain
kind
of
expectation
that,
it
must
be
a
good
film.
What's
your
thought
on
this?
When
you
have
been
accepted
,
you
don't
want
to
disappoint
people.
And
from
my
end
the
effort
is
always
to
give
people
something
fresh
or
something
entertaining.
The
more
people
say
if
it's
you,
it
must
be
good..
it
becomes
more
scary.
But
that's
what
an
actor
wants.
And
at
the
same
time,
film-making
is
not
a
solo
project
so
it's
not
always
in
your
control.
You
always
chose
a
little
'HATKE'
films,
which
were
not
too
commercial.
How
do
you
manage
to
stick
to
your
vision?
I
really
believe
in
the
saying
that
ignorance
is
bliss.
I
was
completely
ignorant
about
how
to
make
that
kind
of
movies
back
then.
I
think
I
was
able
to
hold
on
to
my
ideals.
It
was
disheartening
to
be
interpreted
as
arrogant
or
'know
it
all'
because
I
was
just
trying
to
stick
to
a
vision.
And
who
am
I
to
tell
people
that
this
is
the
kind
of
film
I
want
to
do,
when
I
myself
hadn't
proved
anything
and
was
just
a
film
old.
All
I
knew
is
that
I
believed
in
those
films
and
I
would
be
accepted
and
embraced
for
that.
And
I
think
it
happened,
although
it
took
a
lot
longer
to
get
into
people's
mind
and
heart
but
when
it
takes
time
it
stays
there.
Today,
a
lot
of
films
are
being
remade.
Do
you
think
Bollywood
is
lacking
original
ideas?
There
is
nothing
wrong
in
remakes,
but
yes,
if
there
are
more
remakes
than
originals
then
it's
a
cause
to
worry.
And
it's
not
only
in
Bollywood,
it's
in
Hollywood
too.
As
it
seems,
you
do
not
take
much
pressure
of
box
office.
Is
it
so?
I
don't
take
any
pressure
of
box
office.
I
am
not
a
competitive
person.
I
am
not
a
part
of
the
rat
race
and
I
am
not
here
to
be
a
star
or
to
be
in
top
10.
But
if
I
can
somehow
just
create
a
niche
for
myself
that
can
co
exist
with
Bollywood
and
constantly
delivering,
that
would
be
my
ideal
position.
I
may
never
become
a
number
1
or
a
huge
star
but
I
will
never
go
down
either.
I
simply
believe
what
you
can
do,
I
cannot..
what
I
can
do,
you
cannot.
Each
of
us
have
a
space.
But
we
live
in
a
world
which
is
more
about
commerce
than
creativity.
Just
after
a
week
of
Nanu
Ki
Jaanu,
Avengers
are
coming.
Are
you
planning
to
see
the
film?
Superhero
films
bore
me.
I
mean,
they
have
great
special
effects
and
all
but
they
are
all
franchises
to
make
money.
They
are
predictable.
We
are
living
in
a
society
where
there
is
war
around
us,
there
are
superheroes
in
the
form
of
everyday
people
who
make
great
sacrifices.
We
try
to
be
superheroic
and
we
ignore
real
issues.
Do
you
think
we
are
very
much
influnced
by
the
Hollywood
style?
We
always
copied
Hollywood.
Now
at
least
it's
less
than
before.
But
even
though
now
we
can't
outrightly
copy,
we
borrow
the
style
from
them.
In
this
you
lack
your
own
originality
and
that's
unfortunate.
It
would
be
nice
to
be
innovative
of
our
own.
But
we
are
service
oriented,
we
are
not
encouraged
to
be
innovative.
Till
the
time
we
don't
feel
confident
in
our
own
skin,
we
are
going
to
copy
their
style
particularly
of
white
people
because
that's
what
we
aspire
to
be.
We
don't
see
African
cinema
and
inspire
from
them.
