00:00When the film gets bad, the film will also get bad.
00:06Being a sportsman is very difficult. If they're a sportsman, I would be happy, but I would be very anxious.
00:10In a Hollywood film, an Indian actor can never get a starring role.
00:14And even if he does, it will be the role of an Indian driver or waiter or Italian or Spanish
00:20or Mexican.
00:21You would get typecast.
00:23They say, yeah, you're good.
00:26But Akshay and all is better.
00:28So that's all right.
00:36I had a film called Sparsh, which I played in a role of an Indian actor.
00:42And I think it's the best performance of my career.
00:47And since that film has become more than 15 years,
00:51I think it's a lot of depression.
00:52I think it's the best performance for a 15 year old.
00:58I've never been able to do that quality.
01:00Or I didn't get that role.
01:01I didn't get a role after that.
01:04After that, I had a dream that I would like to play a male male.
01:11Because the physical challenge in it is very...
01:18very powerful.
01:21Because the gestures of a male male are so clear, precise and expressive
01:29that a person who can listen, may not be able to listen to it.
01:36I wish someone would give me that kind of role.
01:39Have you ever made a mistake in selecting a film?
01:42In my opinion, there is no such film.
01:43In my opinion, there is no such film.
01:50Where I felt that I was mistaken.
01:57I really don't think there has been any such film.
02:07When the film is good, it will also be good.
02:13What do you think about your younger co-stars?
02:15They all like me. I like them all.
02:19I think they are wonderful.
02:20And I think I admire them very much.
02:24Because each one of them has some ability.
02:28That's the great thing.
02:29They have all become stars on their own steam.
02:32Not because their parents are stars or anything like that.
02:38They all have some ability.
02:42And they are all physically fit.
02:45Most of them don't have any bad habits, which is wonderful, I think.
02:50And they are great.
02:52Do you take your role as a father seriously at home too?
02:55Yeah, I love doing that.
02:58I just like it.
03:00I think parents enjoy this business much more than the children.
03:06When it's time for the children to go away,
03:09it's the parents who have a difficult time, not the children.
03:12What do your children want to become?
03:14I would have liked to be a sportsman.
03:18I would love it if one of them become.
03:20But then being a parent of a sportsman is very difficult
03:22because the child goes through a lot of traumas when he fails.
03:26being a sportsman is very difficult.
03:28If they are a sportsman, I would be happy.
03:30But I would be very anxious.
03:31Do your children have talent for acting?
03:34They are always in every child.
03:37All children act, all the time.
03:39It remains to be seen when they grow up.
03:43When they grow up,
03:44they keep their dreams of living.
03:46If they live, they will become an actor.
03:48If they don't live, they will become an actor.
03:50Who are their favourites?
03:52They are very kind to me.
03:56They say, yeah, you are good.
03:59But Akshay and all is better.
04:02So that's alright.
04:04How do you cope with your films and theatre?
04:06That's difficult.
04:07I wish I didn't have to do it.
04:09I wish I could do only theatre or only films.
04:13Doing them both together is a strain.
04:15To run from here in Mud Island to Nariman Point
04:20to do a show after a whole day's shooting,
04:23fight scenes,
04:25working in the sun.
04:26Then to get fresh all over again.
04:29It's worse than doing a second shift
04:30in terms of physical fatigue.
04:32But there's no other problem.
04:34Do you like acting in Hollywood?
04:35Do you like acting in Hollywood?
04:37Not at all.
04:41Because in a Hollywood film,
04:44an Indian actor can never get a starring role.
04:48And even if he does,
04:50it will be the role of an Indian driver or waiter
04:54or Italian or Spanish or Mexican.
04:57you would get typecast.
05:00The way a foreigner would get typecast in India.
05:03Have you changed as an actor?
05:05No, I don't think so.
05:07I don't think I can answer that.
05:08I think you should ask the people I've worked with.
05:12I really don't know if I've changed.
05:14I don't think I've changed.
05:16And if I've changed,
05:17I hope it's for the better.
