‘I haven’t fallen out with Nagesh’

I always wanted to do a variety of roles... Even when I started acting and was doing theatre, I was eager to play all sorts of roles.
I never narrowed it down to a particular kind of role. Movies like Dor and Iqbal just happened to me. I���m glad I was able to do justice to them and had a great experience, but now I���m open to various kinds of things.For me, it���s about striking a balance between off-beat and commercial movies so I get to explore different territories
Commercial films do not mean bidding goodbye to meatier roles... Whatever roles I���ve been offered so far have been good. Whether it���s Om Shanti Om, Apna Sapna Money Money or Welcome to Sajjanpur, I���ve had fun doing them all. In fact, I always wanted to do something absolutely wacky like Golmaal Returns. Many people told me that they didn���t expect that I could play a really funny and crazy character like the one in Golmaal Returns. By doing different kinds of movies, I also avoid the risk of being stereotyped as a serious or offbeat actor.
I���m also doing some glamorous roles in my upcoming films... I���m getting to play the lead role in my upcoming movies. Click is a horror flick in which I play a fashion photographer. Then there���s Subhash Ghai���s Paying Guest, which is a comedy, and UTV���s Aage Se Right. My role in Aage Se... is the only one that���s very me; the rest are completely different, which is challenging and exciting at the same time.
I���m experimenting with my look with every film... For Golmaal Returns, I was told I���d need a complete make-over. I don���t know if that has anything to do with me not having the right face. (Laughs) I needed that look for the character and the change was worth it. In my next films too, I���ll be seen sporting different looks.
I���m not saying ���no��� to more offbeat roles... If I come across something really intense and special, I���ll surely take it up. For now, I���m making a special appearance in Nagesh Kukunoor���s Aashayein. I���d also like to say that the rumours about me not being on good terms with Nagesh since I don���t have a major role in his next film are outrageous. Nagesh will approach me if he feels I fit into a particular role and I���m waiting for a good offer to come along.
