I was waiting for the right script to come my way so I can channelise all my energy in the right place.
Every film on some level is an emotional journey. But then your attachment to that varies based on so many different things; on set experiences, and the character that you're playing and the story. I don't think I've ever come across something as impactful.
A bit of both. It's a combination of having lived as the character for so many months and having invested in it emotionally. I think being an actor also allows you to empathise and live the life of somebody else. So both of those things have been emotionally challenging for me.
I've met her several times many years ago in a completely different context. And I've had the opportunity to meet her several times through the process of this movie as well. It definitely enables you as an actor when you get to meet a character you're playing.
In fact, this is the first time I'm playing a real life character. I've never played a real life character before and especially a living person. So that makes it all the more challenging. When you're playing real life characters you've got to do it with a sense of responsibility as well. But yes, getting into the character is so many things. The physicality is just one part of it; more important than that are the emotional formalities.
(I was attracted towards Chhapaak) at many levels. I think one is to create awareness about the act of violence not just in our country but globally and the crime rate is only increasing. But more importantly to shed light on it.
I can't speak for everyone. Different filmmakers have different agendas, different filmmakers have aesthetic sense, different emotional understanding, and different directors and actors want to tell different kinds of stories. So I can't really comment on what has been done but I can tell you that Chhapaak as a film is here to do exactly what you've asked; to break that stereotype and to broaden our understanding of what our perception of beauty is.
I think acceptance is key. While I think what Laxmi has been through in her own way has been extremely traumatic, but for someone like me, I've been through depression and that was a life altering experience for me. So while the two experiences cannot be compared and are so different from each other, I think the takeaway here is that both of us have chosen to not succumb and we've chosen to overcome our experience, and what we've made of our lives after that.
I think we're able to do what we do because we've accepted what we've been through. I think acceptance is key. And when I say acceptance, of course, of ourselves in terms of what we've been through but also acceptance from society.
