Shakespeare's Hamlet can be performed in 50,000 different ways. It is the character who lends a special touch to the role.

I am happy to play the bad man.

I am like a brick.

I have been in the film industry for 35 years, and everyone, including the spot-boys, will vouch for my character.

I feel even old people can do a nice love story, but here we don't make that kind of films. In the West, such films are being made and they make a nice romance, which is more like compassion.

Meeting Helen Mirren was a fabulous experience. I had played it out in my mind, how I should greet her when we would be introduced. But the way we met was funny because I just didn't recognise her!
