Murder 1 and Murder 2 had been a hit at the box office. Did you feel any kind of pressure on you because of this?
It is my good luck that I got to do this film. This film is about modern-day relationships defined by power, fame, money and lust; but mostly by love. Murder is a brand name in itself. It has created stars. It has always dealt with modern issues. There is love, lust and sex in all relationships, but Murder 3 is beyond these things. It is not only about erotica. It is a fantastic story, explained well. The first two films were successful. It’s my job to act and I only concentrated in delivering good stuff.
How was it working with a first-time director Vishesh Bhatt and your co-stars Aditi Rao Hydari and Sara Loren?
Vishesh handled the film amazingly. It is his first, but didn’t look like it. He studied in New York and had a clear idea about what he wanted. He is the quietest of the Bhatts and is sorted. Also, it was nice working with the lead actresses. I had the benefit of being the eye-candy with them fighting over me! (Laughs)
The Murder series has also been very bold in terms of the scenes it has had and these days, Bollywood is being blamed for objectifying women. What do you have to say about this?
I don’t think cinema should be blamed anyway. The problems that women face are socio-cultural. Men who treat women like shit and are biased should be blamed. Not films. The purpose of films is entertainment.
What are your upcoming projects?
I have a lot to do this year. I have a film with Imtiaz Ali and Alia Bhatt. It’s called Highway. The shooting has not started yet though. There’s another film I’m doing called Kick. It’s by Sajid Nadiawala. It also features Salman Khan. Bombay Talkies is again another one. It is an anthology consisting four short films. I am in one of them with Rani Mukerji.
