"It is very difficult to differentiate between modelling and acting because the medium of shooting is similar in terms of technology -- there is the camera, sets and lighting. But the art is very different... Modelling was great. I had a great time but I was getting bored. I realised I wouldn't be able to model much longer; I wanted change. I wasn't motivated any more"
It's not fair to write Milind and Dino off just because of the failure of one film. It's definitely not the end of the road for them.
"Everyone in the industry knows me and my abilities. I can''t bring myself to go and beg for work. If they feel a role is meant for me they''d come to me. Otherwise it''s their prerogative to go to someone else,"
"I never want to be typecast in either action or comedy. I'm more than willing to walk that extra mile to get a role that would challenge me as an actor. I do see a growth in myself as an actor. When other people notice it, it feels good. If I can get my hand on scripts with more than a surface value to it, I'm thrilled."
I do charge my price. A director asked me to do his film for a lower fee. When I asked him why, he said the money saved on my fee could go into making a better product. I just asked him one question. 'Will this character immortalize me?' He had no answer."

After 'Aankhen' and 'Ek Ajnabee', this is our third film. We get along very well and our chemistry is clear on screen. (On Amitabh)
When we did 'Dil Hai Tumhara', we did not know each other and that is why did not get along. After doing a concert, we broke the ice and found new friends in each other. (On Preity)
She has matured a lot more, she has grown. She understands the characters much more and she has got a lot of success recently so her confidence has definitely grown a lot and it's been great. (On Priyanka)

'The Last Lear' is absolutely different from 'Rock On!!' It has more to do with passion than commerce.
Right now, I intend to do films, which have good scripts. I want to do roles with which my fans can identify me.
I agree and I really love doing action films. That is the reason I am planning an action film for my next home production. I can assure you that it is going to be one of the biggest action films ever made on these shores.
"I'm just going to relax and read a lot more scripts.
