Are you a movie buff?

Yes, completely, very much.

What kind of movies you like to watch?

I love watching films, irrespective of its genre. But if I have to select, then thriller drama is one genre that holds a special place in my heart.

Tell us about your favourite movie scene?

Those who have watched The Shawshank Redemption, would remember, when Morgan Freeman was asked about his feelings when he got free and he replied stating, ‘I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain’. That particular scene is my all time favourite. And apart from that few scenes from Cast Away really touched my heart.

So who are your favourite hero and heroine?

Well for actors, Tom Hanks, Nicolas Cage, Morgan Freeman, Daniel Day-Lewis top my chart. And as long as the actresses are concerned I believe Kajol and Meryl Streep are two power packed performers.

What was the last movie you watched?

The Gift.

Cinema for you is…

Cinema in general is a world full of hallucination. And it projects an image of larger than life, which in reality doesn’t exist. But for me cinema inspires me and provides me the chance of living many lives at one go.

You keep busy as an actor…so how do you prefer watching movies?

• On the go- internet
• Movie On demand
• Rent DVDs             

Frankly speaking, all of the above.
