In theatre, you've got to make the connect with your audience in the first three minutes. If you haven't, you know you've almost lost them.

Theatre is live content, and you can tell if you have worked your audience.

I personally enjoy theatre, but preferably I do films so that I can reach up to maximum audience. If you want to give a serious message, it will reach out to maximum people through films. But through theatre, you can hardly reach out to about 3,000 audience at a time.

I am grateful to theatre for making me what I am today. But it's not like theatre is my first love. I am equally attached to cinema, which is, actually, a child of theatre, since it borrows heavily from it.

Every person wants to stretch himself and widen his audience. Since Hollywood has got more exposure and is shown all over the world, it's obvious that every actor would want to do an English film and explore himself.

I don't expect anything from anybody. When you grow old... Your days are gone; it is part of life.
