Doesn’t attempting all those daredevil action scenes give you goosebumps?
I’m a slave to my vision in my head. If I see something in my head, then I have to make it manifest. If I can see it in my head, I know it’s possible and if I know it’s possible, I just keep working at it without giving up. And that’s how it happens.
Do you see yourself progressing into direction?
Ah! No, I don’t think so. I don’t think direction is about giving suggestions and having little visions of how a scene should progress or where you should place the camera. It’s just that I’ve been around the camera so much that I’ve learnt a lot and have my own instincts. But that doesn’t mean I have the talent of being the director. But all said and done, if at all my life leads me that way, then, we shall see (laughs).
Which has been your best role till now?
Well, I see my life in two phases. All the work that I’ve done between “Kaho Na Pyaar Hai” and “Koi Mil Gaya” were kind of a reference phase in my life. All that I did was reference acting and reference work. I was trying to duplicate or relive the kind of success that I had in my first film. And then “Koi Mil Gaya” came into my life and I relived that same passion, that desire and that drive which I’d felt in my first film. And then I realised what filmmaking and acting was truly all about. I realised and I decided at that time that I’d do only those films that make me feel this way. From then on my stepping stone towards that mission became my films like “Lakshya”, “Krissh” and “Dhoom”. Now it’s “Kites” and then “Guzaarish”. I only want to do films that excite me that much and I realised this back at the time when I was doing “Koi Mil Gaya”. You know, even while brushing my teeth in the morning, I would think about the film. I had this rush and feeling of pure passion. That’s how I want it to be with all the films I take up.
