I essay a negative or a positive character depending on whether it's a principle role and how much it drives the movie.

I don't know how one can differentiate between comedies. A burger is a burger and though it may taste differently in different food joints, the fact remains that it is still a burger. It's the same with comedies.
I have been successful in comic roles and people think that is all that I can do.
There is a very thin line when a man plays woman. If you're not careful, you may end up looking like a eunuch. If you don't enact your role properly, you can look very bad.
I would say I was lucky that I got different kinds of roles.
Nothing works like success.
In 'Mr Shrimati,' I had a long role as a woman. A cabaret number was also picturised on me. I really worked hard in that film and feel that to date, no man has matched my level when playing a woman.
It is very important for me to do different things so that people see that my range is more than just comedy.
