 Winterbottom’s fast-paced, free-form shooting style was also a plus. “Even in Hollywood, or Bollywood, or anywhere, people rarely shoot films like that, which are easier for an actor to be in, more interesting, and a pleasure, because you really are connected to the material, connected to substance, you know, you’re not just there pretending to be somebody, you’re part of the experience.” What comes across most of all when listening to Khan is to hear his enthusiasm for his chosen career. “Sometimes you enjoy it, you like being engaged in something, you know?
