So has something out-of-the-ordinary happened with him yet? The actor who believes in ghosts, recalls how the elevators in the building where they are shooting are believed to be haunted. "They won't go beyond the 16th floor. Since we are shooting on the 17th we have to trudge one flight up," he laughs.

On being quizzed about why he chooses to do only small-budget films, Sheirgill says it's not a conscious decision. "At the end of the day, I need to keep working."

"And if a script that excites me comes from a small producer, so be it. As long as the film is promoted well and gets a good release, I'm okay. No one loses money on my films," he shrugs, adding that his movies might not do commercially successfull, but the DVDs fly off the shelves.
