00:00Which film has an impact on my acting style?
00:30I can't say a particular film, but I can tell you about the actors who I like.
00:39I like Dilip sir's work a lot. He also had a very natural style in acting.
00:46I also like Bachchan ji, Dharam ji, Govinda sir, Shahrukh sir, Aamir sir, Salman sir, Ajay sir, Sunny sir and Nana sir.
01:03All these actors inspire me and I don't have a particular acting style.
01:16I don't think I could have done better than them, but I would like to do my own version.
01:24There are a lot of films, but I don't believe in remakes.
01:33My problem is different, so I don't want to say that I want to do this film.
01:40What is the most unconventional method for acting?
01:44The most unconventional method for acting is that you have to do some difficult things.
01:52Because you have not experienced everything in life.
01:55Like in Gadhar 2, I know that I have not been to jail, I have not been in a prison.
02:04But in Gadhar 2, there is a sequence of Shahi Qila, where there is an execution scene.
02:09For that, you have to say that I was hungry, I slept less.
02:14We were shooting for 2-3 weeks.
02:18So you have to do all those things, not because you are doing an unconventional approach.
02:24But because it should look real on the screen.
02:26Only then it will look like a prisoner, not just with make-up and prosthetics.
02:35There are a lot of methods, but if I talk technically,
02:43like in acting schools, there is a method of substitution.
02:47Where many times you have not experienced anything in life.
02:51So you draw from other experiences of your life and fit it there for that emotion.
02:57Which you are trying or which you want to reach.
03:01So there are many such small techniques.
03:03And the rest of the techniques are discovery.
03:06I think acting is more of a discovery, which you understand more by doing it slowly.
03:17The toughest challenge was definitely when I used to do theater there.
03:22Although it was not that difficult to catch the accent.
03:27But sometimes it was difficult to understand the cultural background of the characters there.
03:35Because I have not been raised there since childhood.
03:38I have not met every type of character there.
03:41So especially the characters from the countryside,
03:45I had to go out of town to explore with them.
03:51I used to meet the actual people there.
03:54To understand their world, their world.
03:57Like if I get a chance to do a film like Kantara here.
04:03So it is so rooted that until I go to that place,
04:08I will not stay at that place for at least 4-5 months.
04:11Till then I will not be able to portray that culture correctly.
04:14So there are many such things in every country.
04:18Which you have to experience physically many times.
04:22Only then you will be able to show it appropriately on the screen.
04:31When you are very young, around 10-11 years.
04:37And if there is an old movie playing at home.
04:41Obviously your attraction is to see the newer things.
04:45You are a kid, you see the latest toys in the toy shop.
04:50But when you grow up, when you get emotional depth.
04:56When you do soul searching yourself.
04:58Then you understand what they were talking about in the old movies.
05:03When you don't have that much experience in life.
05:06Then you will not search for it.
05:11In childhood, I liked the newer cinema more.
05:16But as I grew into my later teens.
05:19I really started liking cinema from the 50s and 60s.
05:23And ever since then I have been continuing to explore it.
05:32My message is that Vanwaas is coming on 20th December.
05:35It is a full family film.
05:37And you take your parents, grandparents and everyone.
05:40And in cinemas, share your happiness and sorrows with your loved ones.
