Will you be acting in Shirish Kunder’s next?
It was decided long ago that I’m not doing that film. We did discuss it for three-four days.. that’s it.
What about Mira Nair’s Shantaram?
I haven’t been approached.
What’s with Don 2?
I wanted to shoot it after Karan’s (Johar) film next year but now I’ll tell them that I’ve time. I met Farhan (Akhtar) a couple of days ago about this. But it’s too big a film to start at a short notice. In a day or two, a clear picture will emerge. I’ve heard the first draft of Don 2 and liked it.
You’re being described as a lucky mascot for the Indian cricket team.
After Chak De!, a lot of undue importance has been given to me. I would go to watch the cricket match earlier too but now I go for my kids.. they love going to the stadium.
I’m very unsocial, I don’t go to crowded places. But my kids and their friends want to go. My wife says I should escort them.. so I do. But it’s true.. whenever I’ve been on the ground, they have never lost. I remember I was shooting for Darr, India was playing with England and they won. I’ve seen five matches.. all five were won by India. I guess whenever I’m on the field, they really play well. Some cricketers are my friends. They call and say, “Shah Rukh bhai, aa jana.” So I do.
