It’s great to be…
In a city where I love to come back time and again. Kolkata has always been very special to me. Why, even my mother is a Bengali!

I’m looking forward to…
Cash with an ensemble cast, Bits and Pieces with Rahul Bose, Sanjay F Gupta’s Alibaug and Krazy 4. All these films are slated for release this year and I hope I don’t find egg on my face.

I prefer…
An ensemble cast to one where I play the lead. Lately there has been an upsurge in ensemble cast films and they only seek to up the ante.

Modelling for me…
Is a redundant word now. I feel there’s very little intelligence involved when you’re posturing. It’s when models leap over to films that they prove their acting prowess. Small wonder then that the most sought-after faces in Bollywood are all models!

I dislike…
Getting pigeon-holed. Bollywood suffers from it; a fear that plagues all actors. I have tried hard to cut loose and do roles that I have believed in and enjoyed working in.

As actors…
We allow ourselves to get stymied. I say act like it’s your last shot. No force on earth can circumscribe me.

For a change…
I was quite excited playing a TV journalist in Shootout at Lokhandwala. The final product hadn’t quite shaped up the way I thought it would. My character was left wanting. But again, I’m an actor and my role ends there. Any extension of it offscreen would be cut short.
