How was your 'Prawaas' so far?
The journey was beautiful and absolutely no regret in life as an actor or in any way whatsoever. My film 'Prawaas' is not actually the journey of the couple. It is the journey of an individual and the life of a couple. How they have to cope with so many things in life. It also showcases the issues take place when you reach a particular age. So, basically, it is a beautiful journey of life.
How was your experience shooting for the movie?
Shashank Udarpurka has shot it with great cameras and technical crew and all. We also had an excellent production team.
You have been choosing scripts carefully. Is it a conscious effort?
I have always chosen scripts consciously. I want roles that I can relate to and that can give me satisfaction. I wanted to do a good historical film and I got a role in Ashutosh Gowarikar's 'Panipat' and it was a very good film. There is no dream role that I am waiting for. But, yes, something very different and challenging comes my way, I would love to do.
