00:00Being a die-hard Amitabh Bachchan fan, I did not want to see my hero or the person that I've grown up
00:06Idolizing as an actor as an icon to be relegated to such as a role. Um, I would love to do
00:13films
00:14Where I play the central role for you more substance. Absolutely, but I think it's commercially not possible now
00:30You
00:49Has it ever ever happened that you watched
00:52An Amitabh Bachchan performance and not like something and you've said it to him. Yeah, whatever ever happened
00:58Can you give me an instance?
01:00well, um
01:02It's very wrong of me to say so but since you asked me I'm going to say I I really didn't like the movie
01:06He did called boom called boom. Yeah, all right
01:09Married I would love to see this is a fairly universal
01:13Opinion opinion. Yeah, but you know with all due respect to the makers of the film the co-actors
01:18I think was a wonderful effort, but
01:20Being a die-hard Amitabh Bachchan fan
01:23I did not want to see my hero or the person that I've grown up
01:27Idolizing as an actor as an icon to be relegated to such as a role
01:32Which was not of which is not of the main focus of the story
01:35I did not like that and I told him that and did you did you think that was valid?
01:40His his arms at for a film like boom or other films that he me. It's a sentiment. That is no different from several other
01:47Well, let's say viewers expression, but really current that's at my age. It's not possible
01:54We look at the the structure of the Indian film industry. There has to be a young leading man
01:59There has to be a young leading lady and and the and the few films that are made with character artists playing central roles
02:06They are you know
02:08Really very very minimal
02:10I would love to do
02:12films
02:14Films where I play the central role for you more substance absolutely, but I think it's commercially not possible now
02:22So one one hopes that one can get something interesting to do
02:25I thought that the whole concept of boom was very tongue-in-cheek and I and I and I had and I wish that
02:33the producer and the director and the makers and their publicity
02:37Had had the gumption to bring that out and perhaps would have prepared the audience that this is something
02:44Which is tongue-in-cheek. This is
02:46Sarcastic it's it's you know. It's it's trying to hold your nose the other way
02:52and
02:53perhaps maybe you know they would have understood the
02:57the the humor
02:59I wasn't doing it earlier on but
03:02Kaizad and Aisha
03:04Shroff who kept insisting
03:06and then they started shooting and
03:09Their first day of shooting was splashed on the front page of the Times of India, and I saw these
03:15Gorgeous looking three women, and I said hey, I got to be in this movie
03:20The gorgeous women that got you to do the film
