Amit Sadh’s performance of an alcoholic but righteous cop in the web series Breathe is being lauded by all.
The series gives this fantastic actor ample moments to shine despite having a stellar name like R Madhavan as the antagonist, and Amit manages to incredibly impress. It is almost pitiful for Bollywood to have overlooked this fabulous actor for years. While other actors often regarded as “underrated”, like Rajkummar Rao (who starred alongside Amit in Kai Po Che) and Ayushmann Khurrana, are finally being hailed, Amit is yet to get his dues as a performer. But things appear to be changing after Breathe. In his own words, Amit said, “I could have never expected that the response could have been like this at all. Very, Very overwhelming. My phone is going on and on. I hope this never stops.” We hope so too.
We met up with Amit for a conversation and just as much as a talented actor, he is a charming host. As we sat down in his living area, with a giant portrait of Muhammad Ali looking over us, he was all pumped up to answer my questions. Here is how the conversation went.
What is the most overwhelming response you have received from someone?
The kind of things people say! When Sultan came or Kai Po Che came, people said ‘good acting’ and other adjectives and superlatives and it finished. For Breathe people are discussing the character as if the character is a real person. And Amit kind of has a password to talk about Kabir. They are treating Kabir as a live human being and discussing his life, his journey through his portrayal. The kind of things people are saying, they are… I never thought as an actor that my work, craft or portrayal of a character will be discussed with such an applause, craze and understanding.
Your acting has always received good reviews.
