Role: I play Bhati, the right hand of Dukey Bana. He's not a 'yes man,' he gives his opinion when he doesn't agree with Kay Kay. But he always does what he's been told, he never rebels against Kay Kay. I did not have to prepare for this role, as I'm like this in real life too -- I'm very co-operative.

I was offered Gulaal when I was shooting for 1971. I had auditioned for Black Friday but did not get a role because Anurag had already cast his actors. Thanks to recommendation of Piyush Mishra and (1971 director) Amrit Singh, I bagged this role.

Working with Anurag: It was a good experience. When he is in a creative mode, he becomes very calm and gets work done with a lot of love and affection. Because of that, work gets done before time.

On the sets: We had a lot of fun on the sets. We were staying in the same hotel, so we would all get together and discuss the day at the end of it.
