Hussain
Dalal,
who
was
recently
seen
in
Toofaan
got
candid
with
us
at
Filmibeat
about
not
letting
the
fear
of
failure
stop
him.
Hussain
who
debuted
as
an
actor
with
TV
show
Bring
on
the
Night
in
2012,
turned
dialogue
writer
for
hit
releases
like
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani
and
2
States.
After
making
a
name
for
himself
as
an
actor
with
Margarita
With
A
Straw,
A
Gentleman,
and
Hichki,
he
has
also
turned
screenplay
writer
for
Mere
Pyare
Prime
Minister,
which
garnered
a
lot
of
love
from
critics
and
audience.
Talking
about
taking
chances
and
exploring
more,
he
told
Filmibeat,
"If
it's
not
exciting
why
should
we
do
it?
There
are
so
many
unexciting
jobs
in
the
world.
Taking
a
chance
doesn't
ever
treat
you
badly,
it
can
only
go
two
ways.
So
it
has
been
fantastic
really."
Here
are
excerpts
from
the
interview
Fans
are
waiting
for
the
film's
release
eagerly,
the
trailer
also
has
received
a
ton
of
love,
but
what
made
you
choose
this
script
and
your
character?
I
am
a
big
fan
of
Rakeysh
sir
(Director
-
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra).
We
have
also
written
a
couple
of
films
together
so
I
know
him
well.
To
be
honest,
I
am
a
very
instinctive
person,
so
the
project
has
to
excite
me
at
the
moment.
When
Rakeysh
sir
told
me
the
story,
I
was
thinking
I
have
to
be
a
part
of
this
film,
how
can
I
not.
The
one-liner
of
the
story
really
excited
me
and
Munna's
part
in
the
story
felt
so
extraordinary
to
me
that
I
had
to
jump
in.
Toofaan
seems
like
a
serious
film,
and
we
have
seen
you
bring
comic
relief
through
your
characters.
Will
you
be
doing
the
same
for
Toofaan?
Yes
and
no.
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
happen
in
the
story.
Generally,
I
am
a
fun
person,
but
where
the
story
starts
for
my
and
Farhan's
character,
there
is
a
lot
of
happiness
and
fun
in
the
film.
But
then
a
lot
of
life
happens
to
both
our
characters
as
the
film
progresses,
so
yet
it
is
a
lot
of
fun
but
also
a
lot
of
other
things.
Friendships
have
been
one
of
the
central
plots
in
Bollywood.
We
have
seen
friends
who
will
fight
and
kill
for
each
other.
What
kind
of
chemistry
will
Munna
and
Aziz
have
in
the
film
as
childhood
characters?
The
kind
of
character
Munna
is,
it's
fantastic
and
he
does
his
own
thing
a
lot.
In
that
sense,
he
is
also
a
tangent
to
the
story.
Mumma
and
Ajju
(Aziz
Ali)
grew
up
together,
so
there
is
a
sense
of
surviving
and
fighting
the
world
together
for
their
lives.
The
story
also
talks
about
kids
finding
their
way
into
the
world.
So
Munna
and
Ajju
also
laugh
together,
face
the
world
together,
are
there
for
each
other,
and
even
fight
each
other.
Whatever
decision
these
characters
take
is
because
of
the
circumstance
that
they
face.
Choices
out
of
your
option
and
not
the
circumstance
is
a
privilege.
Normally
people
end
up
having
to
make
choices
based
on
their
situation,
and
that
is
written
beautifully
in
the
film.
A
few
years
ago,
supporting
characters
were
used
as
fillers.
Do
you
think
supporting
characters
are
finally
getting
their
due
and
get
to
make
a
real
contribution
to
the
story
and
also
drive
the
main
lead?
Absolutely!
Cinema
is
changing.
That
token
side-kick
character
we
used
to
write
20
years
ago
doesn't
exist
anymore.
The
thing
is
that
the
audience
has
become
smarter
and
stories
are
more
detailed.
I
think
it's
a
fantastic
moment
that
all
characters
get
to
have
a
place
in
the
film.
How
was
the
on-set
vibe
with
serious
co-stars
like
Farhan
Akhtar?
Farhan
and
I
have
laughed
through
it
all.
So
many
times
we
have
to
take
breaks
because
we
couldn't
stop
giggling
and
laughing.
Farhan's
a
dream
to
work
with,
he
is
just
chill
and
fun
to
work
with.
Rakeysh
sir
and
I
have
become
friends,
we
have
worked
together
previously
and
he
is
such
an
easy
person
to
work
with.
Creatively,
he
is
so
sound
that
it
feels
like
a
party
when
you
are
working
with
him.
I
am
surprised
we
made
such
a
serious
film
because
we
were
having
so
much
fun
while
making
it.
The
project
was
just
fantastic.
In
the
trailer,
we
saw
Farhan
Akhtar
throw
a
few
punches
in
the
ring
and
on
the
streets.
Did
you
also
get
a
chance
in
some
fight
scenes?
I
don't
hit
anybody
but
I
dance
(laughs).
No,
I
didn't
hit
anyone.
Does
the
writer
in
you
help
the
actor,
or
vice-versa?
Or
do
you
look
at
projects
differently
when
you
are
working
as
a
writer
and
an
actor?
When
I
am
an
actor
on
set,
I
am
just
the
actor
on
set.
And
when
I
am
working
on
a
project
as
a
writer,
I
am
just
that.
Having
said
that,
knowing
a
little
bit
about
the
other
skillset
always
helps.
So
being
a
writer
has
made
me
a
better
actor
and
being
an
actor
made
me
a
better
writer.
It
always
helps
in
every
situation.
During
an
old
interview,
you
had
said
that
you
don't
want
to
work
on
something
just
because
it's
working,
and
want
to
continue
to
explore
without
the
fear
of
failure.
Do
you
think
you
have
followed
through
on
the
plan?
How
has
it
been
working
out
for
you?
It's
working
out
really
well.
I
have
seen
some
failures
and
some
successes.
But
I
don't
think
I
can
stop
trying.
I
will
probably
not
work
if
I
am
not
going
to
try
something
new.
Inshallah,
when
you
see
this
movie
you
will
know
that
the
character
is
completely
outside
of
how
I
am
perceived
and
the
kind
of
little
acting
work
that
I
have
done
before.
If
it's
not
exciting
why
should
we
do
it?
There
are
so
many
unexciting
jobs
in
the
world.
Taking
a
chance
doesn't
ever
treat
you
badly,
it
can
only
go
two
ways.
So
it
has
been
fantastic
really.
