Zero (the number) is a perspective. If you look at it, in a way, it is nothing, and it is also everything. It is complete. Thats also how the film is.
I have never felt complete. As an artiste, I am very incomplete and I know that.
On trying to bring in something new in the commercial cinema setup
Advertising
I always think, within the commercial cinema setup that I am working in, how I can bring in something new, as an actor, as a producer, in whatever capacity I can. So, there I am not complete at all. I am very restless. If you think you are complete, then you are boring. Then you are over and done with.
What do you do after crossing the finish line? So, I dont think of things as completing. As an old saying goes – the journey is important. If I cross anything, which I think is a good achievement, then I dont think of it as an end line, I think of it as a milestone. But I dont plan for it. I dont have a plan for it. I dont think I should earn this much or I should have that many awards or I have to make that many hit films. I think it is very organic. Because, if you worked in films as long as I have, specifics become less important. You cant tell, make such and such film or make a film that comes on a holiday or makes specific amount of money at the box office. All the business part of films completely depends on the story that you are telling. Many become experts in these matters, but it doesnt work for me like that. For me, as time goes and as I do the films that I do, I become less and less of an expert. This could also be the reason I love doing the films I am doing. I am not looking for an end (result) in my films.

On looking back at his early days
When I came in the beginning, most of the journalists thought I was very rude and arrogant. A lot like Bauua actually. When I read those quotes, I am not embarrassed. I understand how and why I said them. I would say I am not junk food, I am tandoori chicken or I have come to rule, not to be ruled or whatever.

I wasnt arrogant. I had lack of knowledge of the art of acting. I knew only this much. If you know very little about something, like science, you feel this is it. You dont understand the vastness of it, how there are string theories, sub atomic particles.
Over the years, I realised that how little acting I knew. When I knew very less, I said a lot of things. But now that I know more, I realise there is so much more to know. It is a very huge subject for an actor if he believes that. There is so much more I can do. There are very few hours and years left.
On trying to be better in the future
As I am growing, I wish I knew so much more earlier, so I could have done even better.
Theres lot more I can do better. At least as an actor, I think I can do a lot better.
On whats next
When you ask, whats next for me?, I can find a billion things that I can do as an actor. Of course, I may not have the capability, talent, time or the stardom as years go by, but there is no dearth of wanting to improve upon what I can do within the commercial setup or otherwise. There is a lot to do as an actor and that keeps me going.

I am doing Rakesh Sharmas biopic. It is a real person. How do I bring dignity to that person? Do I copy him? Do I mimic him? Do I just get his emotions right or do I play him differently with his permission? All those things, as an actor, are very important.
