It is natural for the national audience to recognize me as an actor through 'Kahaani' because the film is in Hindi and has a far wider reach than Bengali films.
After 'Kahaani,' I received a lot of offers for similar roles - from Hindi as well as Bengali filmmakers. But I didn't want a repeat performance of Bob.
I'm happy that the kind of films I'm doing right now is reaching a wider audience, and I'm looking forward to direct Hindi films as well.
Recently, I did the Bengali film 'Rang Milanti,' directed by Kaushik Ganguly. I think my role in that is much better than in 'Kahaani.'
Hindi films offer a wider reach. As an industry, it has the capability to merge varied states, languages, and nationalities.
I personally enjoy theatre, but preferably I do films so that I can reach up to maximum audience. If you want to give a serious message, it will reach out to maximum people through films. But through theatre, you can hardly reach out to about 3,000 audience at a time.
Hindi films are not made for critics, it is made for worldwide Hindi film watching audience.
When I was offered 'Abhijaan,' I didn't know any Bengali. But Satyajit Ray insisted, saying my character spoke a mixture of Bhojpuri, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali. I agreed only because he had faith in me.
Hindi film industry makes film for the rest of the world. Tamil films are watched by Malay people. When a film is not bound by a language, why should an actor be?
The Mumbai film industry has definitely a bigger reach. But considering the rich content of work in many Bengali films, even by new directors, there has to be a better financially backed distribution model for films here.
I will not leave my South films for a Hindi film. I want to be sincere to my South film makers and commitments. Only if my dates are not clashing with any of my South films will I do Hindi films.
Big films help your reach a wider audience, and doing independent films keeps your artistic side happy.
I've learnt that there's absolutely no difference in Telugu and Hindi industries. Everything is almost identical. The only difference is that Hindi films have a wider release.
Although several actors have worked in films down South, I feel unsure of whether I will be able to emote and act as exuberantly as I do in Hindi and Bengali films.
'Ranjhana' and 'Shamitabh' really gave me a wider exposure to Hindi-speaking audience.
I have regional films, Bengali and Telugu, but always wanted to do a Marathi film especially because I think this industry makes the best comedy films.
I would like to get a wider audience. With 'Tiger Zinda Hai' I reached out to Salman Khan's market, through 'Soorma' I can reach out to Diljit's fans. As an actor I want to have my own market too.
