“The reactions have been wonderful, both for the movie and my role. When I read the script, I knew that it was not a long role in terms of screen time, but it would have an impact. And from the feedback I’ve got, I think I was right. The movie opened exceedingly well and the reviews are good… So all in all, we seem to be on a solid wicket,” he says. There was a lot of speculation around why the actor was not a part of the film’s promotions. He, however, clarifies, “I was missing but that’s simply because I was in Punjab shooting for a film called Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana (LSTCK). It was a hectic schedule and as much as I’d loved to have been part of the promotional work, unfortunately I could not take time out for it,” he says, adding that he loved shooting Don 2, though it involved dangerous stunts and harsh conditions.

“Don has been a lot of fun to make but at the same time, it was hard work too. It has some crazy gravity-defying stunts and we shot in really harsh conditions. We shot in Berlin during winter. It was -9 degrees and snowing when we shot the climax. I always judge how much I enjoyed a film by how sad I feel when it’s over. I felt horrible when this one was over.” More so because he bonded with lead actor Shah Rukh Khan. “SRK is a really easy guy to bond with.. As a person and a co-actor, he goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and is always willing to help you out as a co-star. He is not human though. He has a crazy amount of energy. A couple of days after hanging out with him, your like ‘I want some of what he is eating or breathing’.”
