GOING IT ALONE

You have been acting for a while, but would it be fair to say that Raazi (2018) was the gamechanger?

I had hit other milestones before that film. Gangs of Wasseypur, for example, was a major stepping stone. Nobody knew who I was until then. It was the first film where some people thought, There’s something about him. But, yes, Raazi was a pretty big one. During the making of it, I felt my acting software was upgraded. I fell in love with my craft more. The film was a superhit, so more people saw me. But, really, the out-and-out gamechanger was Paatal Lok. More trust has been bestowed on me since, and I now feel I will be able to pull it off and reach out to the audience.

Cinemas are flourishing again. Do you consciously not want to be pigeonholed as an OTT actor?
