I'm an actor, and I don't look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as 'Don', 'Eklavya' and '3 Idiots.'
I still reject lead roles, as I don't accept any role if I don't find it challenging enough. I am very careful while making selections.
For me, a director is a director immaterial of the gender. At the end of the day, the audience is only interested in watching a good film.
Our film industry as well as the audiences are now open to unconventional pairings and subjects, which has aided my journey greatly.
