It's more like individually how lucky and talented you are, that combination determines how successful you will be.

Because when I write I like to think who would be the actor who would play it.

I could never get cast with an Indian accent. I was not getting cast.

I didn't do a lot of drama and decided to do comedy, so I never used to get those terrorist audition and stuff. But I do know a lot of people who in the beginning got that kind of stuff.

No, I can never feel comfortable. It's not a good thing. Always better to be terrified.

Not only is there more content, but the producers are also focusing on characters rather than their ethnicities. I mean, when you go in for an audition, you get a character sketch, like 'a 35-year-old American male.' The ethnicity of that character is developed after casting the actor, and I think that's the most basic change that has happened.

There's such a want for Indian people to be represented in large scale movies. Hopefully, it will happen more and more, whether it's with me or other people. There's an audience for it.

I believe in putting out positivity into the world and so comedy is a job where you feel like you're making people happy. It's a very addictive feeling and you want to do it more and more.

'Deadpool 2' was so much fun to make, and a big part of that is the crew you work with enjoyed the material too.

I hope in my lifetime we will get to see an Indian superhero for sure.

The makers always wanted the movie to be diverse because 'Deadpool' takes place in the 'X-Men' universe. The mutants are kind of outcast, the minorities as compared to human race. They recognized it well that the cast needs to be diverse.

In America in general... I know there are a lot of parts where may be it is not that great to be brown or black.

Working in 'Deadpool' was a really big change for me as an actor.

Before 'Deadpool,' if I was walking on the street, some people would recognize for some project, and another person for a different project. But now, every time I'm walking down the street, people recognize me as the actor from 'Deadpool.'

I had signed a four-film contract at the time of the first 'Deadpool' film. So I always knew that I'd be working in the subsequent installments of 'Deadpool.'

The only thing I wish was happening more was that there were more Indian characters. Like the movies with leads that are Indian and they talk about Indian culture versus Americanized Indians.

The second one is more about Dopinder working with Deadpool and being like 'I am ready for more stuff.' He is more into work and career stuff than love. But it's really fun. The storyline, where it goes, everyone will be surprised. I even get a catchphrase.

Dopinder wants to help Deadpool fight... To become a superhero. But Deadpool right away says 'You're gonna die' and 'There's no way you're gonna do it.' So, Dopinder has to prove to him that he is ready to take on more responsibility.

I love masala movies.

Among actors, I'd like to work with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor.

Personally, I like all actors who are mysterious and don't have social media.

Yeah, I would love to play someone really dumb, just really foolish.

I'm not good at audition tapes.

When I went to theater school, most of the people I graduated with aren't working. I've consistently worked and made a good living.

In a weird way, if someone is so confident in you, it makes you be like, 'Oh, I guess they've seen something in me I haven't seen.'
