Before the film begins shooting, in your head, you need to be the character. You have to convince yourself somehow.
From Sushant Singh Rajput
As an actor, you think you know your craft, you know the conflicts in your character, but often you don't.
If you are seeing something for the first time, one of your first reactions should be fascination.
There are so many ways to approach a character. You have to figure out the similarities between you and the character, build on them, and at the same time, blur the dissimilarities. Since you do it day in and day out, it becomes a process and a part of you.
I'm a trained engineer, so I'm conditioned to come up with a right answer to a difficult question, but when it comes to art, there is no definite answer because it's so subjective.
I've stopped taking myself seriously because now I understand how fickle my thoughts are.
Let me clear it once and for all: I was never offered 'Befikre.' But had I been offered, I wouldn't have done it.
If 'Befikre' was representing the new-age youth of India and romance as what it was claiming, it would have been great irrespective of the box-office numbers. But unfortunately, it didn't do that, and hence, I would not be interested.
If you have skills to pull off even a four-hour film, people will go and watch it.
I think people generally are lost, as they keep thinking about what is going to happen and what they have done. They are not alive anymore. The art of listening is missing. In their head, they are doing something else.
