Nitya Mehra's 'Baar Baar Dekho' is out in the screens and, well, when you look as good as Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra, nothing else matters, really. In an exclusive, Sidharth talked about the movie, his character, and how it was the toughest so far. About the movie, Sid says, "The film is a fictitious story done in a real way. It does not have a sci-fi element or time travel tech; it's about the youth today and their priorities - whether they want to commit themselves to a partner or whether they want to be extremely ambitious to go further and further in their career. The film has a wonderful message on how we need to balance our priorities in life."

About his character Jay, he said, "'Baar Baar Dekho' has been one of the most challenging works so far; not that I have done many films, but purely because it has a very broad character maturity, age wise. You have to imagine all your relationships to understand how you would feel for your loved one or your friends or family at different age periods. I think just to create that in your head is very challenging, and then you to portray it very convincingly, and not to make it look flimsy or filmy. Our director Nitya was phenomenal in doing her homework and knowing what kind of acting she wanted and to ensure that we keep everything subtle and lifelike. A lot of work went into our looks, into the character portrayal, to make sure there's a connection in the theme, and its motivation. All of this comes across in the movie."

Kat's post break-up movie, 'BBD' sees some excellent chemistry between the two. When asked if it could help make the movie a success, Sid said, "We didn't know each other before, and the first time we met was during the workshop for the film. The more time we spent, the more we got comfortable."
