Arun Kushwah X AADAR Cover
Charu Jain: Actor banne ka thought aapko kaha se aaya? Bachpan se tha ya koi point pe aapko aisa laga ki aapko Acting choose karna hai?
Arun Kushwah: Ye tab pata chala tha jab Dubsmash karke ek app chalti thi, lip sync karte the usme. Vo maine try kia tha, fun ke liye hi banaya tha maine apne ghar valon ke saath Delhi mein. Mere family valo ko kaafi acha laga, kaafi funny tha, expression-wise bhi bohot acha laga. Tab mein Wipro mein job karta tha, toh saath saath ye sab banata rehta tha. Itni appreciation mili family se tab maine socha ki full time kia ja sakta hai toh 2015 mein maine socha ki Acting mein karna hai.
CJ: Aapka first project kaunsa tha, big/ small?
AK: Mein kuch movies ke scenes aur khudse clips ko mix karke videos banata tha around 2015 mein toh ek video thi meri jisme 2-3 million views aaye the. First Bollywood break mera Vishal Bharadwaj sir ke saath tha but vo film nahi chalu ho payi, usme Deepika Padukone thi aur Irfan Khan sir the. But Irfan Khan sir ki tabeyat kharab hogayi toh unhe London jana pada toh uske baad phir ye film nahi bani. Aur “Luka Chuppi” meri first movie thi.
CJ: Mostly aapke comedy roles hote hai, toh aage jaake aapko diversify karna chahoge?
AK: Mein comfortable hu kaafi comedy mein, aisa nahi hai ki comedy bahut jada ho rahi hai ya kuch. Aisa hai ki jis chiz mein mujhe mazaa aata hai, vo mein continue karna chahunga. Comedy mujhe acha lagta hai aur Comedy ek art hai toh uske saath mein khel sakta hu. Abhi serious end bhi ek genre hai, mein zabardasti nahi karna chahta vo. Mein direct bhi karta hu videos toh mujhe pata hai ki Casting ke liye jab tak character suit na ho tab tak mazaa nahi aata. Aisa koi target nahi hai, bas mujhpe suit kare toh zaroor karunga.
CJ: “Dasvi” mein aapka role kaafi interesting tha. Aapka overall experience kaisa tha? Abhishek Bacchan ke saath aapne usme kaam kia tha.
AK: Jab maine script padhi thi toh mujhe movie kaafi unique lagi. No doubt, sabse pehle bohot hesitation thi ki kaise kaise cheezein hongi but Abhishek Bacchan sir ne kaafi easy kardia mere liye jab set pe jata tha. Toh Agra Central Jail mein shooting hoti thi toh vo bhi ek alag experience tha, saare crew ke liye ek alag experience tha real jail ke andar shoot karna. Abhishek sir bohot fun loving hai, light mood rakhte the set pe. Kaafi appreciate karte hai vo. And character bohot interesting tha “Ghanti”.
CJ: TVF/ Screenpatti/ Chote Miyaan – Kaunsa choose karoge aap?
AK: TVF/ TSP mein mujhe kaafi mauke mile, acha platform mila aur Chote Miyaan mera khudka channel hai. Toh dono mere liye bahut important hai, alag alag weightage nahi dena chahunga mein. Dono mein ek similarity hai ki content acha ho, audience ko pasanda aaye.
CJ: Physical appearance se upar skills, talent hota hai. Iske baare mein aap kuch kehna chahoge?
AK: Ha bilkul, mostly log ye baat jante hai. Aapas mein mazak chalta hai but deep down, everyone knows ki talent alag chiz hoti hai aur physical appearance alag chiz hoti hai. Agar kisi ki height achi hai, body achi hai toh ye sab ko mein add ons ke tarah se dekhta hu. Acting ka main matlab hai ACTING, acha dikhne ke liye Modelling hai, body building ke liye ek alag profession hai.
