00:00It's fantastic to come back to a city that's, you know, a place that's wonderful, people

00:17are lovely, it's shooting friendly, so as a producer, as an actor, it's a fantastic

00:23place to be in.

00:25So the film's called Dishoom and it's got Varun Dhawan and it's got Jacqueline Fernandes

00:33in it.

00:35It's a fun, commercial, action, comedy, thriller, pretty much on the lines of Bad Boys or Lethal

00:43Weapon or Rasha.

00:44It's about two cops and what they set out to do and that brings us to Abu Dhabi, which

00:51is an important character in the film.

00:55Yeah, so I was in Budapest and I was shooting for another film of mine, Force 2, and I had

01:02three knee surgeries and I've just got out about a month ago and I'm back doing action

01:07here and back driving here.

01:11So it's fun.

01:12It's because I've signed up for action so, you know, there are no complaints, you get

01:16beaten around.

01:18I mean, I've practically broken every bone in this body, I mean, I've got hairline cracks

01:25in both my shins, in both my forearms, I've got a hairline crack in the back of my skull,

01:34my back, my vertebral column, so I mean, you name it, I've got scars all over here, you

01:43know, from kickboxing, I've just been damaged all over, but I think it's good for a man

01:50to have some scars, it shows his experience, you know.

01:54I don't think pretty boys are very pretty.

02:04I love comedy.

02:05I enjoy comedy as well and I love action as well, so I do action or I do comedy or I do

02:11an action comedy.

02:12That's the space I enjoy.

02:13I love drama as well, but the one space that, you know, unless well scripted, you know,

02:20and if you have a great director, I would not want to get into, is rom-coms because

02:26unless it's, like I said, it's scripted really beautifully, you know, let me give you the

02:30best example of, I'd still say that's drama, but George Clooney's Up in the Air is a kind

02:36of film that I'd love to do, you know, just give you an example and it's very difficult

02:41for a person of my physicality to be a cute boy, you know.

02:49I don't have a problem with cute boys, okay.

02:56You know, this is a perfect day.

02:58Today we're talking on a perfect day because I'm actually, I got out onto the track and

03:02I'm driving.

03:03I wish I could do this every week, you know, to be very fair, every week I'd love to come

03:07onto a track, so that's great for me.

03:12You've got to have a strong mind, you can't be weak and you've got to be disciplined and

03:19consistent every day.

03:20I've not cheated on a meal for the past 23 years, so if you can do it for 23 days, then

03:26we'll start talking.
