Was it difficult to play Zeenat Aman's character in 'Don'?

That was never my objective. I would never want to imitate Roma the way Zeenat ji did it. People would start comparing us and I would fall short of expectations! (Smiles) I was conscious all through that I had to essay the character of Roma in my own look, way and style. The Roma of the earlier 'Don' is different from the Roma of the contemporary one. I play a martial arts expert in the film and have actually done all the stunts myself! No body double has been used! I had to execute really high kicks! (Laughs) 'Don' will show me in a completely new 'avatar'.

Tell us about some of the stunts in 'Don'?

I have some great stunts in 'Don' and went through intensive training for nearly six months. I've never been so physically involved in a role.

How different is the new 'Don' from the old one?

'Don' was a cult film of its time. Farhan (Akhtar) has given the new 'Don' his own interpretation and perspective. It is more young, cool, contemporary and slick, if you know what I mean. Even the characters have been very differently etched and enacted. I won't reveal much but there are some interesting changes in the storyline as well!
