What made you agree to do a Bollywood movie?
Well, if something has to happen, it happens. I was approached by Firoz with the script. He explained the music video concept to me. I was anyways in that phase when I didn't mind trying out something different. The script seemed very interesting with lots of excitement thrown in. I agreed without much deliberation .
Was the money an incentive to do the item number?
I have no complaints on that ground. Firoz has been kind and generous.
What is your role in the film?
I am in the promotional music video and I'm presented as myself - Mike Tyson. I have done a solo performance which as I understand is to be intercut with the other lead stars of the film.
How was your first Bollywood experience?
Undoubtedly memorable. It was very interesting and wonderful to see a new set up.
Have you heard of, or seen, any Hindi movies before?
No. Didn't really get an opportunity.
You are known for losing your temper. Is there a lot of anger in you? And where does it stem from?
I don't have that temper anymore. I have lost it.
Did you lose it on the sets?
Not even once! The atmosphere was very congenial, happy and energetic.
Do you intend to act in more Bollywood films?
Firoz has discussed a movie with me. We seriously intend to work towards
it.
What's the difference between being a boxer and an actor?
In both the fields, in order to survive and triumph you need focus, and to be highly disciplined and determined.
