Abhay Deol recently talked about his upcoming movie Nanu Ki Jaanu.  The actor said on doing mainstream film, commented “Yes, this is a pretty mainstream film. It is a horror-comedy and so there is a certain quirk to it, which you don’t really see in a regular mainstream movie. I always try to do middle-of-the-road cinema. Nanu Ki Jaanu is like that too. I have never wanted to be all out artistic to the level where it isolates people. I have done the non-mainstream movies too like Manorama Six Feet Under, Road the Movie and Shanghai. But largely my effort has always been to do middle-of-the-road films.”

He added “I personally am attracted to characters that I can relate to. I think that’s my approach to my work and maybe that’s what is translating to the audience. For me a hero is not someone who dances like a dream, beats up the bad guy in the end and gets the girl. I always pick characters where it’s not his muscles or dance skills that help him,

because not all of us can look like that. I am more like someone who’d beat up ten guys, not with his muscles, but his strategy. A lot of us want to be heroes in our own lives and do things that are in our power as ordinary people. That is what I like to showcase on screen too.”

Talking about his debuted film, he said “I really love Socha Na Tha. I loved being a part of the film. I think it is one of the best stories I have read. As a narrative it comes together really well. How have I changed? I think I have grown. I’d like to believe that I am more patient and compassionate. I am more settled in where I am and who I am. I am more secure now. I am not out there to prove anything to anyone. Just more mature, I hope.”
