His intreview with Kaimoi
I will begin shooting for Jagga Jaasoos in November. It will be produced by me and it is awesome working with someone like Anurag Basu who has such an indomitable flair. It is a musical with a detective concept and I will have scenes in which I will play a school boy too. It is a franchise that will be co-produced by Disney and I am very excited for it. I will begin working with Deepika on Imtiaz's next early 2014. I play a supporting character for Roy which is directed by a dear friend of mine. Ayan Mukherji is scripting down a superhero film, which will be trilogy. So yes I have a great platter of brilliant roles lined up for me thankfully.
These are question I liked as well
Recently at an event actor Salman Khan praised you saying you are competing with superstars like SRK and him. What do you have to say on that?
It is the bigness of Salman sir to encourage new talent in such kind words. There is nothing like fostering healthy competition in the industry and I am so grateful for his words. I can't even consider myself in their league. But yes, such compliments do make me feel proud of myself and at the same time inspire me.

So much has been spoken about your personal life. Do you feel grossed out about the link up stories?
Not grossed out because I understand that being a star my life is out there for public scrutiny. It is commendable that people want to know about me and what I do. However, I am not that naive anymore like I was earlier in my career. I used to speak very freely about my relationships and somehow wherever I went that became a bigger topic of discussion than my work. I am not really being selfish just protective since in India, people are quick to judge when a relationship doesn't culminate into a marriage and such value calls is what I wouldn't want. I don't want my life to become a reality show and this is a very Catch 22 situation for me! Oh and By the way I am not getting engaged on my Birthday.

Do you think Besharam will surpass the box office collections of YJHD?
Luckily for me, for the family I come from, I have never faced a dearth of anything - be it money or luxuries. Hence I am not doing the roles or films for money. By God's grace, I have had enough monetary benevolence always. But yes, I do hope the audiences like my film and this can beat YJHDs box office numbers too.
What is your larger aim at being the Bollywood Superstar you are famed to be?
I want the best of all the stars - Aamir, Shah Rukh, Salman, Akshay and yet be me!
