/> "You cannot even begin to imagine the feeling of snow-boarding a steep mountain over here (in Durban). As you hurl down a slope you've no clue about where it's going to end. At that moment you forget all your worries and joys. It's the most exhilarating experience in the world," says Hrithik from Durban.

Hrithik took a while off to learn snow-boarding in Dubai. "But we haven't really had as much time for me to practice all the stunts before facing the camera. I wish I could master them a bit more."

So are these much talked-about stunts in Dhoom 2 as daring as the ones in Krissh. "Oh, far more daring. Allan Amin and I are working on some of the most audacious stunts ever seen...or rather, never seen in our films. I don't think audiences have ever seen such action. Yes, they're risky. But I'm taking calculated risks. You can't cross frontiers until you take a risk."

Hrithik was in Namibia and now he's in Durban shooting the climax of Dhoom 2 with Abhishek, Aishwarya Rai and Uday Chopra are here. Bipasha has just left. Hrithik is missing his wife and son like hell.

"And if you ask me whom I miss more, I'll have to say Susanne. I'm so used to her being there with me on all outdoors. Every day feels strange on this schedule because she's always been there on all my outdoors. Not that I miss my son any less."

Hrithik's son couldn't join him in Durban. "I couldn't subject such a small baby to those painful vaccines and inoculations. Susanne and family are in London. I might join them there for three days after my schedule in Durban. And then we'll all return to Mumbai together."

After playing the super-hero in Krissh Hrithik is having a ball playing a a grey character in Dhoom 2. " I can't remember the last time I had so much fun shooting a film. Believe me as far as the action scenes are concerned I've crossed another threshold with Dhoom 2"

For the last one week he has been doing the heart-in-the-mouth stunts. "I'm having a really great time. There're so many new things in this films. I had to train myself in different skills. I had to learn roller-blading, snow-boarding, sand-boarding and of course stunts on bikes."

Hrithik explains his colourful role in Dhoom 2. "I can't say much about my character. He's grey. But not in any obvious way. It isn't exactly about being a villain. And my performance is certainly not stunts alone. No Hindi film can work without the sensitivities and emotions required. Krissh had them. I believe Dhoom 2 will have them too."

Hrithik returns to Mumbai at the end of the month. He's overwhelmed by the feedback to Krissh in South Africa.

"They all love the film here. Virtually everyone seems to have seen it. It's a great hit in SA. I just want to see how far it'll go....I wish I was back home to see the impact Krissh is creating. Never mind. If I'm lucky I'll enjoy the success of both Krissh and Dhoom 2 together."
