In theatre, I get comedy or nice lead roles. I don't understand a grey or negative role.
I am feeling like I have completed the circle. I started with serious roles, done a grey shaded role, did fatherly roles and now a comedy.
Playing character roles gives me the freedom to try out different roles, including negative ones or elderly ones. When one is playing the lead role, clearly there are limitations and responsibilities.
None of my on-screen roles have been outright negative. They have all been grey, and that is how it is in reality, too. None of us are nice and sweet 24/7.
I liked the character very much and even in general roles like this entice me. I started my journey in Punjabi film industry with negative roles, and then gradually comic roles and situational comedy fell into my kitty.
I want to be a three-dimensional actor, excelling in comedy, negative roles and even serious roles.
It was fun yet challenging to play the dual roles. I'm a really nice guy, and the character [of Dubious] is egocentric and hard-edged, so I had to pull out the negative aspects of me to attribute to the role.
People like you in negative roles, they want to see you only in negative roles and thus you get typecast. At the end of the day, what matters is whether the audience loves you or not.
I was looking for playing something positive on-screen, but I'm often offered roles that are either negative or grey.
When I played the lead actor, it was a stressful job right from the starting to the release of the film. I even used to put in money from my pocket for a few films. But once I accepted the negative role, filmmakers started writing different kinds of roles for me.
After a two-year stint at Cheek by Jowl theatre company in London, I put all my energies into breaking into New York's theatre scene. It took me eight years to build enough to play lead roles.
I don't really understand this negative or positive role thing. A role is a role.
I played Sanjay Dutt's role in 'Son of Sardar' in a Kannad film. But because roles aren't being discussed and published that much people tend to think that I am doing only negative roles.
Somehow, casting directors tell me that I don't have that innocent face to play a lead on TV. I only get negative roles to play.
I have touched all genres, be it comedy, tragedy or negative roles.
I think I'm already slotted. After 3 Bahuraniyaan where I played a positive role, I did one negative role just as an experiment. After that I started getting only such roles.
I never ever played the lead role in a play, except at school. I guess the industry that we're in, boys that look like me don't get the lead role.
