After tickling the funny bone in DHAMAAL and Tara Rum Pum, Jaaved is all ready to roll the ball this time with Shaurya as army lawyer. Rather unusual Jaaved will be seen in a serious role this time.

What is Shaurya according to you?

According to me raising your voice against something that is against your principle is Shaurya .But this world is such that every one, someday or the other have to compromise on their principle. I think it happens almost everyday take for instance pirated CD's we know that purchasing pirated CD is a crime, but in spite of knowing most of the people end up purchasing as its is easily accessible at a cheaper price. To stand up against the wrong requires a lot of courage and will power. I try and voice my opinion when ever I fell that things are going against my principles.

Tell us something about your role?

I play a character of Major. Akash Kapoor. He is a sharp and focused army lawyer and best friend of Sid (Rahul Bose).Akash is very ambitious and to be on the top he will play by the rules using them to his advantage. Akash's friendship with Sid is so close that even if he is about to loose the case he is proud for Sid.

Since you will be playing the army character for the first time, any preparation that you did?

Being an Actor, I feel I am like clay, where any one can twist and mould me and I will take that shape i.e. I will be that character. We meet the representatives of the army and saw their behavior and the mannerism to get a proper idea to play the role. I had also cut my hair shot to gel in the character.

What do you think about the music?

I think the music in the movie is woven according to the mood of the film. It is not just cut and pasted anywhere. It is very well planned for instance there is a sequence in the movie where I and Sid (Rahul Bose) a have some problem in our friendship , that's where the song Dosti finds its place .All the songs are background ones except for one which is lip sync. I think the lyrics are wonderful and have lot of meaning in it.

Would you like to do a movie with Samar Khan again if given a chance?

Yes ,I would love to be a part of his team. I think it is a credible attempt by Samar as the movie is from a different genre altogether. He has tackled the subject very well and gone into intricacies to portray the character well.

What is unique about the movie Shaurya?

The movie has touched on certain aspects that exist in the society. There are certain questions raised through the movie. It is not a lecture but it is something which the audience would like to know.

You experiences of working with cast?

I had a good rapo with every one. Though Rahul is the main lead he never had any attitude and while shooting, we use to end up advising each other about the way we say the dialogues and also about lot of other small things. I share most of my scenes with Rahul but I have also known Minissha as a very bright and educated person she just doesn't look at the clothes and the make up but also is a focused person. K.K and I have just worked for a day but he is a fantastic actor.

What are the projects that working on?

I have quite a lot of movies in hand some of them are Anees Bazmee's Singh Is Kinng, Nagesh Kukunoor's 8*10, Paying Guest by Mukta Arts, Popcorn Entertainment's Loot, Raman Bharadwaj's Vada Pav and Ashwin Kumar's Forest, directed by Rahul Mahajan etc. I will be shooting till next March and I am all exited about my projects.

Any Actor that you look up to?

I want to be an actor who does a lot of variety and according to me Kamala Hassan is one whom I like for the various kinds of roles he plays.
