'Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.' did well at the box-office. You must have felt good?
Of course yes. Actually, we were quite confident that it would click. It is really important for any actor that his/her film clicks. A success or failure can change your standing in the market.

Tell us about your next film 'Ek Chalis Ki Last Local'.
It's a film that's set in a very real, urban setting, and is yet very entertaining. It is an honest attempt to capture a slice of life event and look at it from a humourous perspective.

Go on...
I think just about everything is good in this film, be it its unbelievably 'hatke' script or a different debut of director Sanjay Khanduri. The film is certain to tickle the funny bone of the audience. Music's infectious and apart from Sandesh Shandilya, the music has also been worked on by Pakistani bands 'Call' and 'Ankur', and DJ Aqueel and DJ Suketu.

What do you play in 'Ek Chalis Ki Local'?
I am someone who is almost like an idiot out there. Yet he thinks that he can handle any kind of situation and get out of it. It's a very interesting and humorous character. One night in his life changes it forever.

The song 'Laaree Choote' is catching up very well..
You can say that again. People are loving the number and I have been hearing rave reviews about it. It was great fun getting the song ready. From conceptualization to the execution to the final product, it all went very enthusiastically. At the end of it, we knew that we had a winning song.

As you're a Deol, you must not have traveled by trains .?
I have! I travelled by train even when I had to go to the American Embassy when I was leaving for the US a few years ago. For 'Ek Chalis ...', we went to Bhayandar railway station on all the nights. Still there were people in thousands. At one occasion, they started pelting stones at the generator van, artistes van and unit buses. They never touched my car though. All they wanted was my autograph. I sat in a train and must have given them 5,000 autographs just to keep them calm. During night shoots, we had to rush to take shots before daylight. The film is set to release on April 13.

Do you browse scripts before signing projects?
Absolutely. When I like them I read them thrice. I must have read the script of 'Ek Chalis .' at least six times and laughed out louder each time. A script is vital, especially in a comedy. And comedy has worked quite a bit oflate, as shown in 'Phir Hera Pheri', 'Malamaal Weekly', 'Golmaal', 'Apna Sapna Money Money' and of course, 'Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd'.

Are you consciously making an effort to do films that are different from the kinds that your brothers Sunny & Bobby act in?
Sunny bhaiya & Bobby bhaiya are great at what they do, but I am different and hence, am looking to do different films.
