Any plans of settling down here? No not at all. It’s just that work brings me here. I was here a few months ago for the IIFA’s and now for the screening of my film The Last Lear at the London Film Festival. Hopefully there will be many more occasions. We hear that in one of the scenes from the film where you are shown drunk you talk like a Shakespearean actor. Are you so inspired by Shakespeare? I had to; I had to get inspired from William Shakespeare. My role demanded it.
