What about Sohail Khan? Prankster?

He was a complete revelation. I didn't know him much before I signed Hello. It was such a surprise to find him as a thorough gentleman. He is so cultured and so well brought up. I had a good time interacting with him.

We haven't seen Gul Panag shake a leg in most of her films. I can't remember seeing you dance. Will Hello be any different?

Because I was busy trying to prove myself as an actor. Not that some of it has been done, I can get on with other stuff which is less important. As an actor, one does all kinds of work. It was a very conscious decision for me to be able to do the films that take me seriously as an actor. But if there is a good script which requires me to dance, why not? I will not do something just for the sake of dancing and that's not going to happen.

Hello releases in two days now. Good for you as there doesn't seem to be any competition for three weeks till all the other biggies get released.

Good that you mentioned that because the two films, Kidnap and Drona that have just released last week haven't really got a great response neither at the box office nor by the critics. So I think we have a good week ahead.

Why should one go and watch Hello?

Well, watch a film that has actually got a story rather than just putting many stars together and enjoy it for its originality and its freshness. It is an interesting peep into the youth of India today, which I think people living out of India, has lost in touch with.
