00:00I am very influenced by Japanese architecture, I like clean lines, I don't like any clutter,

00:12I don't like branded products lying around, I like things to be very simple and I like

00:19very soft, earthy colors.

00:24The one thing that I'd want to buy is an L-shaped sofa because I think that's really important

00:28for me right now and because I need to change a part of my design, you see I'm a closet

00:35architect, my mind's working, so I need to do that and outside of that, the house really

00:42needs nothing because I think my brother's been so effective in the way he's designed

00:45the home that you can only add and minus stuff, then you become an interior designer.

00:56I'm not loaded so I can speak about myself and you know coming from a middle class background,

01:01you're very conservative about the way you want to spend money and that's the way I look

01:06at even designing the home, I could spend millions but then you decide to be smart about

01:12it.

01:15Yeah it's crazy action, it's coming out on the 18th of November and it's some serious

01:20action and I've broken my bones for this film, literally, I've had three knee surgeries on

01:26this one, I've crashed my elbows, I've bled, so I've done everything to put in every kind

01:33of effort on this one and I hope people don't see that as much as they see the content of

01:39this film because I really think Force 2 has a good story and it's inspired from true incidents

01:47and I think that brings a lot of credibility to the film so you really can't buzz around

01:51with a film when it has a lot of true incidents.

01:58Yeah it's better than dancing, it's better than mindlessly dancing to someone else's

02:02singing, it's as simple as that.

02:07Yeah but then I made Vicky Dholan, I made Madras Cafe, the idea is to change the way

02:11we look at cinema and I'm not anti it, I do it, I've done it in Welcome Back, I've done

02:15it in Dishoom and I think it's fun, it's the fabric of our country and our culture but

02:20to do it in every film and dance your way into weddings and then into award functions

02:25is exasperating after a point, so I'm probably one who doesn't conform to that.

02:32I think we're also going right, so it's wrong and right, I think you had Pink that release

02:37was just special, you had some other films that released that were really special, you

02:41had films that were disastrous because they were proposals, so I just think when you're

02:46making a proposal and not a film you're bound to get hit in your head and you deserve to

02:49get hit on your head, you know, and when you're making an honest attempt to make a

02:54good film and if it fails, the audience does see that and the media sees that and they

02:58forgive you, they say no he tried, but if you're trying to fool the audience, you deserve

03:01to be slapped.

03:02It won't, we're not trying to fool the audiences, we want to make a credible film and that's

03:10what we want to do, whether it works or it fails is different, is irrespective but we

03:14want to make a credible film.
