You play Major Bishan Singh's character in this film. What kind of research have you done for this character?
My mother was a Hindi and History professor. When I started my carrier with Tamil films she bought me a book on how to learn Tamil. After that I did Jodha Akbar, she then sent me a book on the Mughals. I always have a connection with history because there is a library in my house, which has so many English and History books. So, whenever I do any film, I just want to go through lots of homework. I read books. When my mother was alive she always gave me notes as a part of my film's prep. After her demise, now I have to read everything on my own and take care of every note. When I read the war book, I learned many things about the army that I don't know. After that when u go with JP Dutta sir on set where everything is real (bullets etc), people called Bishan Singh as Tiger Nathula because people are scared of him. During the war, he had a lot of contribution, and I am glad because of Tiger Nathulal and his Paltan that today Sikkim is a part of India.
