“I love it this way. I have spent enough time sitting idly in Mumbai," jokes the Delhi-born actor, who makes his Tamil debut as Sepoy Vikram Singh in the upcoming Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Amaran. "In the Tamil industry, people are more relaxed, but they take their work very seriously. In Bollywood, it is the other way around. People are more close-knit here," remarks Bhuvan, who had to learn Tamil for the film. "I insisted on dubbing my own lines. What's the challenge in reading a line in a language I already know?," says the spirited actor. Bhuvan opens up on shooting for Amaran, the lesson Kamal Haasan taught him, his acting process, and more.
Excerpts:
How did you land your role in Amaran?
I got a call from the casting team that director Rajkumar Periasamy sir wanted to narrate a film to me. When we met at around midnight, I had come from a day-long shoot, and he had just finished a lot of meetings. So, we both laughed it off, saying we were tired, and we met the next day to discuss. My father was in the army, so this was a longdue role for me.
What did you learn from your father that you brought to the table for Amaran?
