You know, initially I said no to the script. When I finally heard the script, I was taken aback because he has given Agneepath a new touch and I really liked it. And I don’t have compare both the films.” He adds, “When I heard the script, the moment he started it just seemed like a different world, it seemed like a different film and it hit me. I reacted to the story. I reacted to the emotions. I reacted to it as an actor, as a human being. I couldn’t say no after that.”
He says, “I bring an honesty to the character. Just being true to the character. It’s a journey of a human being who has been through certain experiences that instills a lot of rage in him. A desire for revenge and to vindicate himself and his family.”
