Inform me how are you feeling about Babli Bouncer?
For the very first time, I am feeling excited. Like legit excited. Individuals have requested me many occasions how I am feeling once I go to some premiere or wherever. However that is the primary time the place I am legit enthusiastic about it. I am actually wanting ahead to the film.
Throughout the lockdown, we watched a lot stuff as a result of we have been caught at house. After the lockdown, the viewers’s palates have modified. Possibly for this reason individuals are discovering the trailer of Babli Bouncer so refreshing . . .
Right, appropriate. I might say that is the USP of the movie- it is vitally refreshing. Individuals have not watched a girl bouncer and it is all about that. The journey of how she turns into a bouncer and every thing. And for me, I am getting a job which I’ve not performed to date. Earlier, I performed a brat, health champion, any person boastful who’s bullying folks. For the very first time, I’ve performed somebody very refined, well-mannered, calm and composed and I’ve a romantic angle additionally. In my entire profession, I’ve all the time been falling for a lady and that is the primary time that the woman is falling for me. That is very refreshing and I am actually excited kyunki when you’ve seen the trailer, bike ke peeche mein baitha hua hu. That is all new to me, the sensation, the awkwardness . . . that has made me enthusiastic about this mission as properly.
You are additionally enjoying in opposition to kind within the film. Earlier, in SOTY 2 and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, you performed this beefy, hunky dude…
After Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, I used to be getting so many roles alongside the identical traces. You will not consider me however there have been round 4 or 5 big-budget movies I used to be supplied and I needed to say no. And with each movie that I rejected, I used to be questioning if I used to be doing the precise factor. As a result of we do not get so many alternatives to work with such massive administrators and such manufacturing homes . . . the roles have been additionally very thrilling nevertheless it was on the identical traces. I used to be being brave with each movie I used to be saying no to. I needed to do one thing very completely different from the roles that I’ve performed to date in order that I can present my vary of performing and folks can see me as an actor and never simply as a health athlete. I wish to break the picture as a result of I feel if I do not do it proper now, in a while, it turns into tough.
It is really easy to get typecast on this trade. When the casting director known as you and supplied this function, what did you suppose?
Someplace I really feel, I had that character in me. However you want a visionary to visualise all that. Individuals prefer to play secure and I actually did not wish to get caught as one character. I needed to discover, and hats off to the casting director and Madhur (Bhandarkar) Sir – they noticed me as Viraj. Viraj is sort of a dream boy . . . like Prince Charming. I am actually completely happy they noticed me like that as a result of not everybody can see that.
Inform me about working with Madhur Bhandarkar and Tamannaah.
Once I bought to know that that is the script and that Madhur Sir is directing it, I used to be like I wish to do that as a result of that is completely different from every other function which I’ve performed. Once I bought the decision from Madhur Sir ki he desires to satisfy me within the workplace, I assumed ki he shall be a really critical particular person as a result of he has directed movies on such critical matters. However once I met him, I realised that he is a completely completely different particular person – fun-loving, actually jovial and I might say he’s a person who takes all people collectively. He is the person. Not a single time did anybody from the spot dada to the path crew really feel neglected. He offers you the house to carry out and he makes the surroundings so snug on set that you do not really feel such as you’re working. I all the time felt like I am having fun with every thing. That is the very best a part of the director, I might say.
And Tamannaah?
She is a unbelievable co-actor as a result of not everybody embraces the ideas you give and she or he has all the time embraced each time I mentioned ki this needs to be performed within the scene and each time she has advised one thing, I’ve all the time embraced it. That is the best factor you need in a co-actor. At some point I bought up early within the morning to work out within the fitness center, like at 5 am and I noticed her figuring out. You are feeling good while you see the opposite particular person can be as devoted as you’re. That is how within the movie, every thing goes collectively. So, I am wanting ahead to the film.
