“If I do a film, I should know I’m taking this character back home. I want to do those movies that will change my own personality. ‘Wow, what a man’, ‘wow, what a personality.’ I want this to happen to me. Maybe two per cent when I start. but karte, karte (gradually) till the end of the film, I want 25 per cent of the character’s qualities in my life,” he shared.
