Here's the one question we will not ask you: How's the Josh? How's the Josh… Aren't you frickin' tired of hearing it [my ears hurt]?

[Laughs] I don't think I'll ever be tired of this question. This line has given to me and my family something very special. Although, have to say, I had reached a point, where I could just get up in the middle of my sleep, hear it, and go, "High Sir!" [laughs]

In box-office terms, Uri really made you a superstar. And it was your first action film. This is not ironic. Because your father, after all, is an action director. And that would've shaped your relationship with films too, in the first place; no?

To be honest, I was craving an action film. Which, as an audience, I really enjoy watching. And not in the sense over-the-top action. I wanted to do something realistic. For me, a good action film is what Aamir Khan did with Ghulam [1998]. Or, say, Black Friday [2007]. My favourite piece of my dad's work is his first film [as action director] Prahaar [1991]. That's my space, where action is a scene — part of the narrative.
