He added that he would like to play the role of a morally corrupt person, however, he will not endorse any wrong-doings. He stated that the message at the end of the day must be positive. He loves experimenting with his characters and was heard saying that the negative role to be out of his realm.
While talking about this year, he agrees that the movie Dream Girl was probably his safest bet. However, he also agrees that the film was a necessary step that needed to be taken for his future. He said that he needed an over the top role to show his range as an actor. The movie was not like most of his films, as it was not a situational comedy, but rather a slapstick.

Talking about his upcoming movie Shubh Mangal Zyaada Saavdhan, he said he needs the single screen audience to come to the theatres for this film. Shubh Mangal Zyaada Saavdhan is based on the issue of homosexuality.
