, Gunday, Talvar have always been strong, with a subtle humour added to it. He has also garnered some out and out comic role, but post Piku he wants to explore one particular genre and that is Romance. He says that to bring out the romantic side of a person on the big screen is something he has not really tried and would like to do it.
Talking about his real life, the man who has spent twenty years with
Sutapa Sikdar
says that people won’t take him seriously if he starts talking about love and share the mantras for a happy married life- it is because of his films where his characters are not even remotely associated with love that people have this kind of perception. He says that he kept doing whatever roles came to him, and it is high time that he tries his hand on Romantic films. For him, a relationship shall have a level of mutual trust where the two people involved can share their thoughts without any fear and the conversation shall be free and open.
