Here is the interview.

His
debut
movie
'Kai Po
Che!' is ready to come out
and, unfazed by what the
box office has in store,
"fearless" Sushant Singh
Rajput has kept his
options open. He says that
if he won't succeed as an
actor, he may go back to
TV or direct an out-and-
out commercial film.
"I want to be a filmmaker.
The whole filmmaking
process excites me. Acting
is something that I am
doing right now, but I am
learning about the camera
work and different
perspective that directors
have," he said.
"For sure, I will make a
commercial film. If nobody
would put any money in
my film, I will put my
money and make a film.
That's one thing I would
like to do it. There is no
set parameter as such. My
focus is to be honest
about my work. I might
not be very skilled or
talented but I will try to
give my best. Till the time
I am learning, I am
happy," he added.
After becoming a star on
the small screen as Manav
Deshmukh in hit show
'Pavitra Rishta', he took his
big leap as an actor with
Abhishek Kapoor-directed
"Kai Po Che!". Based on
Chetan Bhagat's bestseller
'The 3 Mistakes of My Life',
the life story of three
friends also stars Amit
Sadh, Rajkumar Yadav and
Amrita Puri, and is coming
out Feb 22.
"One thing is that the
audience who had liked
me in television show
wants me to do well in
films as well... that is one
responsibility that I have,"
Sushant told reporters.
"But talking about myself,
I am not insecure at all. In
one word, I am a fearless
person and if nothing goes
right, if I don't do well or
if I am not a star or I don't
get work I might do TV,
theatre again, or make my
short films," he added.
Sushant, who had been
associated with Barry
John's theatre classes in
the capital, admits he was
sceptical "before going
ahead" with the film.
However, his motto is to
do good roles.
"I am from an acting
school and first thing that
I had learned was there
are no small roles, there
are only small actors and I
believe in it. I am not
overwhelmed by big
names, but if there is a
good script then I want to
be part of it," said the 27-
year-old.
His first film is yet to
release, but Sushant has
already bagged movies
with prominent names in
the Hindi film industry. He
has been signed on for
Aamir Khan's 'Peekay' and
Yash Raj Films' untitled
project with Parineeti
Chopra.
While many actors have
had their own share of
struggles to get a break,
Sushant doesn't have any
such sob story.
"According to me, what
struggle means is that you
go and give auditions,
have patience. But I have
never done that. When I
came to Mumbai, I was
doing theatre and was not
doing any auditions. One
fine day, Ekta (Kapoor)
saw me and asked me
would you like to do TV or
not. She said, 'I will make
you a star' and then TV
happened," he said.
