01:17 He said, "It's normal to be affected by work. I started having nightmares during Raazi for the first time ever.

01:23 I never used to have nightmares, but because I was so entrenched in the world of espionage at the time,

01:30 because I had read up so much on the subject, I got scared.

01:34 For the first time in my life, I would wake up with a start at night, seeing people running from guns and bombs."
