Sidharth Malhotra

I have had my set of fears in most of my movies. But the fun lies in overcoming them.

I grew up on action movies. I love the James Bond and Jason Bourne movies.

Sometimes, I remember, for action continuity or to get all warmed up for an action scene before giving a close-up or saying a dialogue, I would do push-ups. I didn't know any other way to get my body mechanism going.

I believe in, 'I do it my way, and you do it your way, and then see what works' pattern. I think that comes with me having worked as an assistant director earlier, which I really enjoyed.

It is very essential as an actor to be a perfectionist and have a knack for doing different roles over a period of time to keep their fans entertained.

The idea is to be different with every film, and I'm glad my mother and my brother, who were sitting besides me during the screening of 'Ek Villain,' forget it was me on screen after the first 15 minutes.

Years down the line, when people look at my filmography, I'd like them to see a legacy of new-age content films.

I believe things have a way of working out, and if they don't work out, maybe it's not the right thing.

I don't come from a film background. so I am grateful to everyone who loves my work.

There will be people who don't like you or aren't convinced. I'd rather let my work talk than justify in words.

The future of filmmaking is to make the canvas bigger, something you can't enjoy on your phones or computers.

At home, I am a private person, and I like keeping it that way. Maybe that is why I come out as being guarded about my personal life.
