in terms of filmsok so right now i am waltzing in my life theres so much content thats being thrown my way i only wish i had 48 hours in a day to do it i love the youngsters who are coming in and sending these edgy ideas to me and not being in a hurry to somehow complete it pushkargayatri were not in a hurry neither was sudha they waited for me they did not go rushing from one actor to the next they did not give bombastic interviews they all are working quietly doing their research and at their own pace this composure is extremely crucial its raj kumar hiranis way that many others are now adopting in terms of the content out there i have barely scratched the surface all superstars of the world have reached the zenith of their calibre when they were in their late forties or early fifties thats the time when you have the maturity to understand what the seniors are saying and the juniors are more receptive to your point of view do you regret doing any movieyes that was jodi breakers its said vinash kaal vipreeth buddhi and i was a victim of that i had done 13 b three idiots and twm was in the pipeline i was concentrating too much on qualityand had sucked myself dry in terms of money i told myself i had had enough of these movies and i need to go out and make one for money i was out of shape and i thought a movie with bipasha basu where id get to wear good clothes and make good money couldnt hurt but this movie was my undoingyou went on a sabbatical a fairly long one of four years what necessitated it and did it helpso this sabbatical was a selfimposed timeout i took from 2011 to 2015 it was the time i needed to stand back take stock and get a perspective of what i had done so far i wanted to get an idea of what people actors and directors the industry thought of me and what were they saying about me i wanted to know what those who detested me were saying i needed a reality check when i did vettai as an actor i got second billing because of my senior status for me that was a clearcut indication that i was definitely not as big as i thought i didnt want to fight or oppose that notion my reasoning was that if they feel this way i have already lost my position i didnt want to reclaim that by force or by asserting my seniority i was glad i got this jolt rather than be under the illusion that i was at the topthe sabbaticalit was the most amazing thing i ever have ever done in my life i went back to finding the maddy that i was i travelled incognito i met producers i met common people
