Though you have been acting only for about six years, you have seen this industry from your childhood. What do you find most exciting about it now?

I think it's a fantastic time to be in the movie industry in India. It is growing by leaps and bounds. The audiences are willing to accept all kinds of films. On the one hand, they like a film like Black with no songs, which is two hours long and with much of its dialogue in English. On the other hand, they accept a film like Bunty Aur Babli, a very kitschy film, like the kind of films good directors used to make in the 1970s.

Both the films had your father, and you played the lead in one of them.

Yes (chuckles). But they would have become hits if they had some other good actors, too.

The growth of multiplexes may have to do with offbeat films slowly drawing the audiences, don't you think?

Certainly. But surely the audiences are supporting well-made films in a big way. This wasn't the scene about 20 years ago.
