The team of girls is young and many of them must be fans of yours?
They were too young. Some of them might be fans of John Abraham. The rawness, newness and nervousness of these girls taught me a lot.
They called me 'Sir' on the sets and chatted with me about acting and sometimes, hockey. I was like a semi coach in real life for acting too.
You seem to be on a friend-making spree in the film industry. Do you think rivalry within Bollywood is a thing of the past?
Competition is there but now it is completely positive and healthy. Before, stars used to think and say Uski film nahi chalni chahiye, taki meri film accha kare. But now, it's like, Uski acchi chale toh meri aur bhi acchi chale.
It's not that we are Langotiya yaars but we do share our notes with each other. If I get off early, I call Salman and we meet at my place or his.
Hrithik told me the story of Krrish 2 and he knows the subject of my Om Shanti Om. We do talk about directors and recommend cinematographers or even scripts to each other.
Where there is creativity there is bound to be competition. Aamir calls me up after watching my film (mimics Aamir) and says, 'Shah Rukh, I want to talk to you. You shouldn't have done this film.' I think it's much more matured nowadays.
