Speaking about his interest in movie roles, he had this to say,
āFirst thing I look out for when Iām giving a script is my positioning in the story. I think Iām a leading man.
āI have all it takes to be a lead actor. And apart from that, I just love to be the best in what I do. Iām looking for a character that is going to showcase my potential. And in most cases, itās always the lead character or the supporting lead character.
āThe second thing I look out for is that I donāt want to be stereotyped. I donāt like maybe every script that comes, play boy or lover boy, or bad guy or something like that. I like to look for diversity; something that will give me the leverage to show my flexibility.
āAnd then I look out for the people producing the film as well. The class of the film. Is it going to go out? Are people going to see it? Is it going to add something to my career? Then I consider the money. Is the money worth my time? Iām a businessman, Iāve other things to do. So, I just weigh it down. Even if itās not about the money, it should be worth my time.ā
