In Hiroshima, the city devastated by the first nuclear bomb, the biopic's Academy Awards success met a mixed reaction
The movie is much bigger than my character. I would feel more comfortable talking about the movie rather than my role or part in the film. I'm very proud to be part of this movie. It's a film that deals with a subject that is much larger than any individual in the film. Many angles could have been explored (by a filmmaker) with a subject like this and the moviemakers could have sensationalised the issue, but that's not the case with our movie. It's a mature and balanced story which will resonate well with the audience.
I got the sense that the movie touched the audience. I was sitting at the back of the theatre, in the last row, and I could see that the audience was so engaged in the film that they were not looking at their mobile phones, they were not even checking their messages on their handsets! I found this to be very remarkable for this day and age. That was gratifying for all of us.
No. This film is not your typical Bollywood entertainer, but every film doesn't have to be that, does it? But having said that, I must say it is an extraordinarily entertaining and engaging movie.
I didn't indulge in any preparation outside the script, I just stuck to it. I have never felt the need to go beyond the script so far in my career. Until now I have based my performances purely on the script and how I react to it. I don't prepare myself for a role like many other actors. It also depends on how your director wants you to play a certain character. It's a collaborative process. It's a combination of visions. That is my approach to a part.
Every film has its challenges. Section 375 did not pose a different challenge from any other movie that I've done in the past, except for the fact that it's a verbose film. The movie is about a court battle and my character has to argue a lot.
If people haven't been to a courtroom before, they should watch this film because it will give them a feeling of sitting in a real courtroom and watching an entire case unfold and being debated right in front of their eyes. So, in that sense, this movie is very unique.
