Sushant Singh Rajput is all set to work with Jacqueline Fernandez under the Dharma production banner with ‘Drive’. It’s also for the first time that the duo will be paired opposite each other. It will be fascinating to watch how they create magic on the screen.
Sushant was asked about Jacqueline's role. To which he said to a leading news portal, "I’m playing exactly what Jacqueline is playing. When the film releases, you’ll get to know why I’m saying this. Whatever she says she’s playing, it has got to do with what I play in the film. Wait for it. The film is all about ‘what’s gonna happen next’."
Sushant added,"It’s really fast-paced. But even if you don’t find it that fast throughout, the thrill element of what’s going to happen right after, will keep you hooked. I always wanted to do this kind of a stylish and slick action film. There are too many chase sequences, which are all required and not there for the heck of it".
Sushant when asked about the remake said, "Absolutely not. It’s not a remake at all. Trust me, if it was a remake of the Hollywood movie, they wouldn’t want me because then, they would have rather cast a better-looking actor. There would be Ryan Gosling, not me!"
Sushant quipped,"I don’t have inhibitions; because I need to convince you that I’m the part. And if I have to do something to make sure you are convinced, I would do it. I’m getting paid for it! Why wouldn’t it be comfortable? Why should I be thinking about this? If I have to cry in a scene, I’m actually crying. Now, that’s not a comfortable thing to do. Because I, normally, am emotionally detached. So, I don’t cry. But when I cry in a film, I have to come up with something exactly similar to feel what I have to at that point. I feel that and cry. That’s exactly what I do. Actors are not supposed to feel comfortable most of the times, if his character isn’t comfortable”.
When asked if the film gets censored Sushant replied, "I don’t even think about it. Do I think of whether people would come to watch that? Or my film? No, I’m not obsessed with that. If they watch it, I’ll feel good. But that happens on that Friday and that’s about it."
