The 11-year-old, who makes fun of my Hindi films to most, has stopped playing to watch the opening scene. He thinks it is almost as good as the superhero movies. Actually he said in Hindi films the main character is basically a superhero.

I didn’t notice him. But this guy is sweet and boring, especially after the sex bomb we just saw.

Well, he was in that scene when he sincerely offered to give up all his suppliers and so on. And then they turned him down, so he stops wearing white for the rest of the movie

SRK said he played him metrosexual…
LikeLike
My personal canon is that he was a call boy working Singapore when Singhania picked him up, Singhania still sees him as a bit of a boy toy sexual available which is why he hates him so much. And why he turns around and is creepy sexual predator-y to other people.
