You are a great actor. What is the secret of your great performance?

When you’re scared of performing, you give a great performance. There are scenes where you have those butterflies in your stomach and you are constantly thinking about it and reading it again and again. That is what keeps you alive as an actor, those butterflies in your stomach are very important.

Audience is witnessing a major transformation in you from your looks to physique. Could you elaborate on what went behind the preparations?

The thing is we had already perceived Ranveer as a college going boy, so for that, I cannot look as I look regularly, because when I come up with a show I need to prepare myself for the show in every way. I need to increase my physical strength, my athletic capacity, I need to be in shape in order to achieve that target because I have to convince my audience that yes I can and I am looking like a college boy. I cannot look like a miscast which is why I prepare myself. I give every project my best shot.

With more character development time, are you looking forward to adding more layers to the character?

Of course, I’m completely working on my character every now and then, be it the body language or any kind of scene, and about losing weight, who wants to lose weight? Everyone likes to be in their comfort zone but you can’t be in your comfort zone forever, one has to take challenges at some point.

You have come a long way career wise since Madhubala days. Comment.

I’ve learnt a lot, I’ve evolved a lot. There’s a lot which has gone in the process of learning and even today, I keep learning, so learning has gotten me so far. Learning how a show is made, how we perceive a character, as an actor, what all inputs you need to put in, what are technical view points of making a show, it took many years, around 14 years.
