What a relief.. to see you without a gun this time.
(Laughs) Yes, I am trying to change myself.

D and Risk were released quite a while ago.. did you reinvent yourself during the break?
What! No way. I was busy shooting for three films. In Ru Ba Ru, I actually play a normal guy. It’s about love, relationships and ambition. It’s about how someone’s private life can go haywire when he becomes too ambitious.

Your performances in D and Risk were appreciated, though the films were duds. Did you get affected?
Yes, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t affected. My performances were appreciated but commercially I was disappointed. (Laughs) My market price did not rise.. I want to be well-paid like any other actor. Rang Rasiya (directed by Ketan Mehta) should get me wider recognition. And then, there has been Karma, Confessions and Holi.

Any side effects from acting with Nandana Sen in Rang Rasiya?
(Laughs) I have learnt a lot of Bengali from her.
