This is the third
film of the action thriller franchise, how has the whole experience been
especially when the action level goes a notch higher?
I am quite thrilled to be associated with one
of the finest action thriller franchise. It’s always been a delight working on
this project as I got to go above and beyond and enhance my skills. With the
third edition, the action level goes a notch higher making it a perfect watch
for all the action lovers. Every scene in the movie requires different
kind of preparation and I had to work very hard to master each stunt. The level
of stunts too are different, and in order to perform better and grow, I set new
targets for myself every time and worked towards achieving them. The happiness
when I complete a challenge is beyond words can describe.
Even the girls in
the movie have performed stunts in the movie, what do you think of it?
Girls have always been performing stunts and
portraying action scenes in Bollywood movies for a long time. We however do not
see them as hardcore action actors. The action in Commando 3 as a whole is at
par with international action movies and it gives me immense pleasure saying
that the women like my co-stars Adaa and Angira in Commando 3 have lived up to
expectations and done complete justice to their roles with rigorous training
and hard work. It was a complete delight for me to have got the chance to work
with these beautiful and strong ladies.
The role you
play, Karanvir Singh Dogra has received a lot of appreciation. How does that
make you feel?
I feel very lucky that the film and my
character was given so much love by the audience. It is very rare that an
actor's first film becomes a franchise and when Commando turned into a
franchise my happiness had no bounds. Even today when I go out, people call me
as 'Commando'. This is a very special thing for me as it doesn't happen to a
lot of people in the industry.
What was your
mom's reaction to a film like Commando 3 or even the franchise?
When my mother saw Commando 3, I got a call
immediately after the movie ended and she said, "Son, you have done a
great job. Now you should try something other than action."
Since you have
become the master of this genre, is there any specific film that you would want
to be a part of?
If I get a chance, I would like to do a Parshu
ram biopic.
