How was it working with Prakash Jha?
I have always been a big fan of his work. He always has a message in his movies and I think this is one of his most ambitious projects. He is one of the most generous, kindest, funniest and loving persons I have ever met. You can call him up in the middle of the night in panic about the speech you have to deliver and he will immediately calm you down.
The best part is that he is a good actor himself. In fact, he has acted in a scene in the film. Sometimes he shows you how he sees the scene. To be able to bring everyone together on the same page on such a big canvas makes him a true hero.
Jha, the director is very clear about his work; he is focused. But as a person he is very chilled out and laid back.
Tell us about your bond with Ranbir Kapoor. He said in an interview that he is jealous of Mehr (Arjun's wife)because she has you.
[Laughs] He is a sweetheart. We play brothers in the film and we wanted that bond to be special. It feels great to take home the relationships that you make during the film.
The relationship I share with Ranbir is very special; he is part of my family now. I hope we can do something else together.
