They think thatSuresh Menon with <a href=Arshad Warsi in Krazzy 4" src="http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/sa_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5"> the mentally challenged people should be out of their mental asylums and normal people like us should be put in there because they think normal people are crazy, this is the synopsis of the film. I don`t say that it is an out an out comedy film but everything has been done in a humorous way. So basically it is a sweet and simple movie. People will like it .

Q. How was Jaideep Sen on the sets?
A. He assisted Rakesh ji and many other good directors before. He holds a lot of experiences and there is no substitute to it. He shared a good relationship with all the actors as he captained the ship. Its his first film and it's a big thing for him as well as for me too. For Arshad, Irfan and Rajpal also it is big film but they are established, but for me, Jaideep and five of us it is a big one.

Q. How was the environment on the sets?
A. It was good, we used to laugh a lot with the killer timing of Irfan Khan and Rajpal Yadav who was always with full energy. It is necessary to have fun at work but ones the shot was ready we gave that proper shots without any problem. Irfan and I are the children of television and we used to discuss that television stars coming into films becomes superstars.

Q. How was it working with Juhi Chawla?

A. I think I am good in comedy so I will stick to it. Right now I am not planning anything but I think I am better fitted in comedy. Like you have seen Sachin Tendulkar he scores more as an opener but when due to elbow injury he had to change his position I may also try in some serious roles but I feel I am better as a comedian.

Q. How was it working with Arshad Warsi, Diya Mirza, Rajpal Yadav, Rajat Kapoor, Zakir Hussain, Juhi Chawla, Irfan Khan?

 Q. Have all actors liked the concept such thematic interviews?
A. Yes, all have liked it very much. You know all new and good ideas are always accepted.

Q. You even dressed as Simi Garewal. How did it feel to dress like a woman?
A. I did not interviewed Simi Grewal but of one singer I forgot exactally who the singer was but I dressed like Simi Grewal. I have done lot of that things like I became a sardar for Gurdas Maan, a coach when I Suresh Menoninterviewed Abhishek Bachan for his film Run, I did that because I felt that by doing those things the interviews will become interesting and in radio I do a show called Kamla Ka Gamla. I decided to change the normal ways of interviews and try something different to make things different and interesting.

A. Nobody complained it is a nice industry and in a way it creates a publicity, it is a very good thing , since they have the talent so it encourages us to imitate them.

Q. What you do when you get less than 20 per cent results?
A. I feel very bad, I come to my house and start practicing in front of the mirror. I don`t waste time and according to me an actor should not relax. I keep thinking of jokes and do my homework regularly.

Q. Do you think vulgar jokes go well?
A. As long as it dosnot hurt any one it is good. But I have seen the amount of vulgar we get to see in our SMSes no such words are being used in television. If it makes one smile or laugh for a while then I don`t think it is bad. We should take it as a pinch of salt. As long as it makes you laugh I don`t think it should be stopped.
