Gangs Of Wasseypur' was a confidence booster for me.
I love Huma Qureshi. She was amazing in 'Gangs Of Wasseypur.' I also love Richa Chaddha. She played a mother in 'Gangs Of Wasseypur.' And then I saw 'Fukrey' where she played a gangster, and I couldn't believe it was the same girl.
'Kahaani' gave me popularity and 'Gangs of Wasseypur' stardom.
I am bored of the 'Gangs of Wasseypur' image.
Oye Lucky!' released in November 2008 and in mid 2010, I was signed for 'Gangs of Wasseypur.' For me, the gap wasn't so much - just a year-and-a-half.
Anurag wanted to cast me for 'Gangs of Wasseypur,' but he didn't approach me for it as he had an unflattering image of me in his mind. I regret big-time about this as I was very much willing to be part of such a powerful film.
I remember, during an ad shoot, Anurag said to me that you are doing my film, and I was wondering do we really get films so easily. I thought you have to struggle and all. But he kept his word and offered me 'Gangs Of Wasseypur.'
In 'Gangs of Wasseypur,' I wanted to take violence forward and play it up.
Whatever understanding I have of filmmaking is because of my stint as an assistant director on 'Gangs of Wasseypur.'
I have no complaints from my characters, be it in 'Commando' or 'Gangs of Wasseypur' everyone on those films was grey.
I was offered 10 Sultan Qureshi-type roles after 'Gangs of Wasseypur.' But I did not want to repeat that, as I have little fear of being rejected by the people.
It was Sultan Qureshi, the character of 'Gangs of Wasseypur,' which brought success as a baddie, but it were the TC and teacher's roles in 'Masaan' and 'Nil Battey Sannata' that broke the villain's mould and helped me successfully explore the other shades - be it comedy, intense, or serious - surprising the audience all the time.
Getting games with PSG was just a confidence booster for me. Coming into the national camp, I didn't expect to get as much game time as I'm getting. But I'm glad the coach has so much confidence in me to get me out there and get me some games.
Huma has made her mark in the industry with films like 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and 'Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana.' I am happy for what she has achieved today because we belong to a non-film background.
Whether it was 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' or whether it's 'LSTCK,' the characters are real, and when you see them on screen, you can identify with them.
'Gangs Of Wasseypur' had two parts and 200 actors. I didn't think it would be that successful and go to international festivals. These things just happen. You should just do films that you like doing.
The World University Games Gold medal was a great confidence booster for me. It highlighted my talents, my performance and dedication.
