For any actor, being part of a Mani Ratnam film is a great experience. I grew up watching his films.
From Dulquer Salmaan
People working in films are somewhat like gypsies: we move from set to set and spent weeks, sometimes even longer working while shooting a film. Right from the spot boys to the make-up guys and cast and crew, we become a kind of family.
I can make chicken curry, rice, kheema... I am a foodie and enjoy varied cuisines. My favourites are Korean and Japanese.
I enjoy working in movies that appeal to and will be seen by many people.
For me, style is all about confidence. What you wear, both in terms of clothing and jewellery, should add to your confidence.
I might play characters that are loud in the movies, but in real life, I'm not loud in terms of personality.
I feel lucky that I always have a number of films to choose from. I would like to come out of my comfort zone while doing various roles, and I don't want to keep repeating my characters.
It is when I am convinced about my character that I can do justice to that role.
I enjoy clothes. My mother tells me how, even as a kid, I used to choose my own clothes. I have a feel for it, and I do the costume coordination for my photo shoots as well. Many a time, even my characters wear the clothes I choose.
I don't want to get into a comfort zone. I am getting characters of varying shades, which I believe will help me grow as an actor.
