1. You’ve never been scared of acting in multi-starrers, why is that?
I simply go for the project as a whole and the character that I have to portray. I can’t do film that don’t enthuse me so whether it’s a multi-starrer or just me I just do work I believe in.

2. What first attracted you to Race?

The scale of the film was so huge…I remember being narrated large action sequences, explosions, fast cars and I’d picture this amazing adrenalin ride…I just had to do it! That along with the story itself its got quite a few twists and turns which I found very fascinating.

3. Tell us about the character you play in Race?

My character is a police inspector named Robert D’costa who people think is more of an idiot than a law officer. He’s quite a quirky person with strange habits while going about solving crime – but ultimately he’s smart and he knows it!

4. How do you rate Saif and Akshaye as actors?

Saif is amazing! The guy has come such a long way in such a short time. He looks the part and acts with brilliant ease. Akshaye and I get on like a house on fire! After my experience with him on Gandh My Father, I’d work with Akshaye on every film if I could.
I’m very fond of both Akshaye and Saif and think they’re fantastic actors.

5. Who do you think Race will appeal to?

Race should appeal to a wide section of the audience as its essentially a masala film but packaged in a very slick way. From romance, to action to thrills and comedy, its got all the elements of a successful film so I think all from children to older adults will enjoy this one.

6. Which of the three leading ladies do you think is the hottest?

I can tell you but we cant print it! Nooo…I obviously think they’re all gorgeous but having worked with Bipasha on No Entry, I think she’s performed amazingly in this film.

7. Do you prefer doing action films?

Yes I enjoy action film – I wouldn’t say I prefer…
It’s a change from what I’ve recently been doing and it also makes me feel alive and young!

8. Do you have a favourite memory from the shoot?

I’ve enjoyed the whole shoot but the best part were the stunts we had to do…it got my adrenaline going!

9. Why should people go see Race?

It’s got a good looking and very talented cast and is a paisa wasool type of film…you’ll not be disappointed. Its got all the ingredients and thrills to keep you at the edge of your seat till the very end.

10. Can you give a message to your fans in the UK?

Well UK is one of my faviourite places and I enjoy meeting the crowds there. I just want to thank everyone for the way they have appreciated my films all these years and I’d urge all my fans to see RACE – hope you enjoy it.
