The transition from acting to producing: Has been kind of a toughie. First, you have to do away with ‘yes people’ because they can be really sweet to your face and then mess up your happiness! Besides that, you have to be extremely strict and focused.

There are different types of producers: Some are driven by the business aspect; others only care about the creative content. I have to strike a balance. I’m very passionate about cinema, but I’d like to make a good film which is profitable as well.

Women always being the central focus of my films: I’m very comfortable working with actresses and so I’d be happy making another film with women. But it’s not a mission!

I get under a character’s skin: I read and observe. One has to do a little bit of research. Though I believe that once you have a general idea of how you’re going to play a certain character, and once I form a basic structure in my head, then I let my subconscious take over. I’m not a method actor — I’m a very instinctive actor.

To make it in Bollywood today: The whole energy has shifted into looking good. So if you look really hot, you can make it here.

T&A (Tits and Ass) vs talent: Right now, looks will win. You bet. Unfortunately!
