Thugs Of Hindostan' involved a lot of prep to be able to make the character look effortless.
What excited me to do 'Thugs of Hindostan' was to make a film in the large format about a character, who is not inherently noble.
Thugs of Hindostan' is the quintessential Hindi movie that we love to watch with our friends and families.
I think most people don't really understand all that it takes to stand on your toes, and to be able to jump and land without any noise, or for a male dancer to be able to lift a girl. All of these things look so effortless, but there's an attention to detail and years of training, as well as being able to transform into a character and being able to meld all of those things together.
We are thrilled to see that audiences across age groups, across India are loving 'Thugs of Hindostan' and have made our film a part of their Diwali plans.
It takes a lot of effort to make a building look effortless.
We spend a lot of effort trying to make things look effortless.
Even if I am going to an event or a wedding, I try to just look effortless. The more effortless you look, the more chic you look.
Some photographers shoot hundreds of pictures in a row and you need to be able to move from pose to pose very quickly while trying to make it look effortless.

You prep, you prep, you prep. And on the day that you film, you let all of that go. I try to achieve emptiness as much as possible - the Zen thing - to let the deal come out of that nothing.
Sometimes the things I do look effortless, but it's not like that. It's very difficult, but because of my style, I make it look easy.
I enjoy the physicality a little more, with Vinnie Paz [in Bleed for This] that was the most prep I've ever had to do for a film, that was a legit like 7 months of diet and working out. And then I was able to do like an accent, I was able to change myself physically, I was able to do a lot of the things that I'd always looked at actors and admired when they did that. So I was excited to do that.
I know there are a lot of people who like to get very involved in their characters, but I, personally, find it too involved. I just like to do it as a job - and it's my job to make it look real.
What I most identify with is effortless fashion, looking as if someone's not put a lot of effort into their look.
Nudge: "I look like prep school Barbie. (looks at Max) Actually, you look like prep school Barbie. I'm just Barbie's friend.
I think 'The Act of Killing' forced people to look at the problem, but the problem is actually a state run by thugs, or a shadow state, a part of the state that's run by thugs, and a military that enjoys complete legal - not just impunity, but immunity.
