Sameer Kochar has cemented his place in Bollywood after being nominated by Stardust for his breakthrough performance in Jannat. The actor would now be seen in Jagmohan Mundra's Begunaah. Lets see what the actor has to say about the film and many more.

Tell us something about your new movie Begunaah?
Begunaah is action movie being directed by Jagmohan Mundra. It's a fun filled movie and Mr.Jagmohan Mundra who usually doesn't make commercial cinema, with this flick is experimenting with a different genre of movie.

I am playing a very interesting under cover agent who has got grey shades. I got to perform a lot of stunts in this movie. There is a lot of jumping from building to building, lot of gunfiring in the movie.

The star cast of the movie includes Udita Goswami, Anuj Saxena and Me, where I am playing a lead in a negative role.

You were nominated by Stardust for breakthrough performance in Jannat. So how does it feel?
It feels like you are at the top of this world when you see your name up there and they say the nominees are and your name is being called out. It's an out of the world feeling.

I think it's about your destiny and your choice of the right kind of roles. I have also been very fortunate to have worked with the producers like Vishesh films and Bhatt sir and Mukesh sir have done a wonderful job in my career as they have guided me a lot.

You started your career as an anchor so what made you take up acting? Which one do you enjoy more?
I always wanted to act. It's just that I was blessed with doing a show like Dangerous which was my first show and it's very risky kind of show which talks about sex on national television.

I think anchoring is a different medium as for being an actor it is not very easy to adjust and to do anchoring and acting at the same time. But I really enjoy doing it.

Which is your dream role and dream director?
I am a big fan of Gurudutt and love the films and roles which he has done and I love Raj Kapoor as a film maker and actor.

I have been recently watching his films and I thought that he was a fantastic film maker. In today's generation also we have such fabulous directors like Ashutosh Gowarikar, Anurag Kashyap, Anurag Basu, Sanjay Bhansali, etc.

They are all great directors and a complete source of inspiration for the actors as they give such a big platform to an actor to perform.

What preparations you are going through for IPL second season as you are hosting it for the second time?
Once again I am going back into the whole loop of handling myself live on the national television.

Last year the IPL matches were held in our own country but this year it's being held abroad so it's going to be 100% veiwership on television this year and it makes me a little more excited. I think its going to be fun to host it.

Tell us about your upcoming projects?
Right now I am just focusing on IPL. I have signed few films but I think it's not the right time to talk about them. I am doing film Begunaah as I said and also I am starting with a new film Good Morning Zindagi, which is a beautiful film with a lovely concept.
