After a promising start in the mid1990s with successful films like Raja (1995) and Sirf Tum (1999), Sanjay Kapoor’s career appeared to slow down around the 2000s.
In 2009, he had a second innings with Zoya Akhtar’s MLuck By Chance, but it didn’t last long.
His career got a new lease of life when OTT gave him opportunities like Lust Stories, The Fame Game and Bloody Daddy.
Sanjay was recently seen in Sriram Raghavan’s thriller Merry Christmas.
“I was born in the industry, so I know what the audience can relate to. I’ve watched a lot of things very closely. It is always the impact of the role, never the length of it,”
What was the most fun bit about being in a Sriram Raghavan film?
The first thing that drew me towards the project was Sriram sir himself.
When I met him, and heard the role of Ronnie, I knew he is a very integral part of the film. The film takes off after his entry.
It was a no brainer for me working with a great director and doing a great, fun role.
It’s never the length of the role, but the impact it makes. I knew this role would make a great impact, so I grabbed it with both my hands.
Your character is what I would call a surprise package in the film. I really enjoyed this quirky, pompous, almost foolish side that you bring to this character. What was your brief for the role?
It was exactly what you said.
It was a fun-loving character. He was the most honest and genuine character in the film because he was not lying about what he is. He was an open book.
And the situation in itself is so funny, you have to be true to yourself and believe in that character.
