I don't think sequels work, or films of a certain kind work. What works is basically good films. And I think that was what worked with Krrish. Because it was not resting on the success of Koi... Mil Gaya. It took on from there but became a completely different world by itself. So this is what sequels should be about, they should not rest on laurels of the previous hit. That is what Dhoom: 2 hopefully will do.

Last time you and Abhishek came together on screen you were friends, this time you are foes, which one is better and why?

We are always friends. Abhishek and I have grown up together and we wish the best for each other. Working in this film with him has definitely made me decide one thing -- that once in every two years I definitely want to do a film with him. Working with him has been very fulfilling. He's a good person and he radiates that. I am a person who works without any egos and so is Abhishek.

He gives his best when he is within a shot. And he is all for the scene to work in its entirety. There is a lot of give and take. I love that, love working with actors who go beyond wanting to be the best, wanting to give the best so that the entirety of the scene comes out as the best. That is something that I enjoy doing, because it really creates a bond and you actually enjoy the process of putting the film together, which is what your life is actually made up of. It's those moments that you live for.

How much time do you spend watching the success or the reaction to a film's release? A day or two or three. But what your life is actually about is the process of making these films, and what's important is to enjoy those moments. I really think that working with Abhishek was one of the most fulfilling journeys of my career.
