Directors trust me because I am a curious actor: Sushant

September 30, 2016

New Delhi, Sep 30: From Dibakar Banerjee, Rajkumar Hirani to now Neeraj Pandey, Sushant Singh Rajput's filmography boasts of directors every actor yearns to work with and he feels his commitment for his job is what attracts these filmmakers towards him.

sushant-singh-rajputAfter a successful TV career, Sushant made his big screen debut with Abhishek Kapoor's "Kai Po Che!" and his performance in the film bagged him a YRF project in the form of "Shuddh Desi Romance".

His next two films were Hirani's "PK" and Banerjee's "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!", which is now set for a sequel with Sushant gearing up to reprise his role.

When asked how did he manage to earn the trust of such acclaimed filmmakers, Sushant told PTI, "All these filmmakers are great not because they know their job well, it's because they are curious to know how to go about it...

"Such people would want an actor who is curious, wants to learn and get involved in his job to a maddening level that he forgets everything else. And I am all that."

The 30-year-old actor is now awaiting the release of Pandey's "MS Dhoni: The Untold Story", a biopic on Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

The trailer of the film, which released today, got a thumbs-up from the fans, with many praising the way Sushant seemed to have emulated Dhoni's mannerisms-- on and off the field.

Sushant, however, is not nervous but says he is only interested to know the audience's reaction.

"Whatever reaction I get, I will get used to it in a day. So, I am not worried about that. Of course, I will feel nice if what I felt while making the film resonates with the audience. But as an actor my job is done. There's no nervousness. I am just interested in knowing the reaction."

The movie is no doubt the biggest film of his short career so far and naturally it is being speculated how its success can elevate Sushant's position in the industry.The actor does not look at it this way and prefers to treat the movie like any other project.

"We start with an assumption that all we want as actors is recognition. I don't work for recognition. The first fame happened, I felt good, I wouldn't lie. But with time I realised the bigger thing that I am in for and that's my love for the craft.

"I know I can't do anything else in my life but act. So, everything else does not matter. In fact, I am already thinking about my next."

Sushant insists even a film's commercial success does not matter to him beyond the point of proving himself as a bankable actor.

"There are different ways to look at hits and flops. I will continue to act even if I deliver flops. My love and commitment towards my work won't change with box-office successes and failures.

"But they are relevant when it is about getting film with great directors. Then, I have to show the box-office records in order to bag more work..."

Sushant's forthcoming projects include romantic drama "Raabta", a yet-untitled action film opposite Jacqueline Fernandez and a biopic on paralympic gold paralympic medalist Murlikant Petkar.

Feb 3: Actor-cum-activist Swara Bhaskar on Sunday targetted the Central government over granting Padma Shri to Pakistan-origin singer Adnan Sami who became an Indian citizen in 2016.

Addressing "Save the Constitution, Save the Country" rally here in Madhya Pradesh, Bhaskar said that passing the new citizenship amendment act tantamount to "betrayal" of the Constitution.

Sami, born in London to a Pakistani Air force veteran, applied for Indian citizenship in 2015 and became a citizen of the country in January 2016.

He was one of the 118 people chosen for the Padma Shri awards by the Centre last month.

"The legal process to grant citizenship to refugees and arrest infiltrators already exists in India. You (the government) have granted Indian citizenship to Adnan Sami and now selected him for Padma Shri through that process. (If this is the case) What is the need and justification for the Citizenship Amendment Act?" Bhaskar asked.

"On the one hand you abuse us (anti-CAA protesters), cane-charge us, slap us, hurl teargas shells at us and on the other hand you award Padma Shri to a Pakistani," she said

Bhaskar said the government labels some people as the members of "tukde-tukde gang" and anti-nationals" as per its convenience.

"Supporters of the CAA and the NRC keep harping about the so-called infiltrators having entered our country. If that is the case then why are we unable to see these intruders?" she asked.

"The problem is that they have intruded into the minds of the government and the ruling party," she said.

Bhaskar said the government seems to have "fallen in love with Pakistan".

"It sees Pakistan everywhere. My devout grandmother doesn't chant Hanuman Chalisa as often as this government keeps chanting the Pakistan mantra," she said.

Without naming the RSS, the actor said, "Sitting in Nagpur, these people are spreading politics of hatred".

Bhaskar said Pakistan chose to become a religious nation after the Partition in 1947 unlike India which opted to become a "secular republic where one's religion has nothing to do with citizenship".

"(Pakistan founder Mohammad Ali) Jinnah died a long ago, but his admirers want to divide the country again in the name of a religion," Bhaskar said.

She criticised BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya for his controversial remarks about the 'presence' of Bangladeshi infiltrators in Indore, after some labourers were found eating poha and not rotis.

"If poha is Bangladeshi cuisine, then Kailash Vijayvariya, who grew up eating poha (in Indore), should be required to show his Indian citizenship papers," she demanded.

Washington, Mar 11: Pop star Selena Gomez made some revelations about her personal life in a recent interview.

While explaining the lyrics of her song "Rare" on the 'Genius' YouTube channel, the 27-year-old said that there are times when she feels that she will ever be able to find a suitable partner for herself, reported Fox News.

"Some days when I wake up and I am annoyed and I am like, 'I am going to be alone forever.' But after that 15 minutes go away, I say to myself, 'I know that there is someone for everybody," the singer told in the seven-and-a-half minute long video.

However, she remains optimistic as she is still young and "this isn't the end all be all".

Elaborating upon the chorus of her song, Gomez opened up and said, "self-esteem and confidence is a constant struggle".

"It's getting better with time and age, but it will always be something that I'm working on," she added while explaining the lyrics further.

"So what I think is so important about this chorus is that it's acknowledging, 'Hey, I don't have it all. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I do know that I'm special,' and I think that is a humble approach of saying, 'Why don't you see that I am different?'" the singer added as reported by Fox News.

Touching upon her experiences from past relationships, she commented: "In certain relationships, I've heard and I've experienced and whatnot, I think men and women do it -- especially teenagers and young people in love -- is there's this satisfaction out of hurting someone because you know that they care. Purposefully putting someone down because they want to keep them at a level. I've had someone actually say that to me before".
