Read the full interview below:

When you saw Chris Hemsworth for the first time, what was your reaction?

What happened was I was on the sets inside a tent and I was working on the monitor. There was a window cut out on the tent and I was constantly looking outside, waiting for Chris to come. There was trance music playing on the sets, the vibe was great. When he came on the sets, I walked out of the tent and I went to him. I was starstruck seeing him and he’s very tall. My eyes first went on to see his muscles, he’s very fit. I said his iconic dialogue from Avengers: Infinity War – Bring me, Thanos. He said, ‘Nice one, Roody’. He has given me a few nicknames like The Little Legend, Roody, Roody Rooster. etc.

How did you bag this movie?

This happened a few years ago when I was called for the audition. First, I was being auditioned for selection day the casting director liked it. I told my mom that the casting director liked my audition. So my mom thought that there are some good chances and she was praying outside. After 4-5 days, I was disappointed as I was not selected. Again after one year, I got a call for an audition and I was thinking if they are the same people who called to audition for the selection day. But it was the same casting director who told me that I have to audition for Extraction. She gave me the script and it was a complete action-packed audition. In 3-4 takes, I gave the audition and she liked it. I was again called for the second round and again in the third and fourth round. After 6 such auditions, she told me the director is Sam Hargrave and he has worked as the stunt co-ordinator for Avengers film. I was super excited to meet him. I met Sam and he also auditioned me again. He took my audition for some tough scenes. When he told me that Chris Hemsworth is a part of this project, I was going nuts. I had no idea that I was going to work with Chris in the film.

Before shooting the film in Ahmedabad, I had script rehearsals practice with Chris and Sam. We used to read our dialogues and bringing out points for our characters.

Can you share us an anecdote related to Chris from your shooting days?

We were shooting an action sequence in Ahmedabad. We are fighting, ducking, rolling on the ground, pushing. In one scene, Chris stabbed a policeman and he pulled me out of a room. While pulling me out of the room, he accidentally scratched me on my chest. We did that scene around 9-10 times. He scratched my chest by mistake during the 8th take. I told my mom about it and later, Chris sir got to know about it. He came to my mom and he apologised a lot. He said it was by mistake. I told him that it’s okay as I permanently got his autograph on my chest. He burst out laughing.
