 Hey, hey, how are you good? How are you dealing with the the old pandemic right now? How you doing? Can't do much have to be at home, you know, you know, so just reading few scripts and Sleeping and eating more Do it home it was a thank you so much for for talking to us man. We really appreciate it Actually Few days back. I was somebody just sent me a video of you guys Watching the eighth episode of Pataloog and I just saw the reaction of it And I was like I was loving it and telling my friends case see this This is so original, you know the the kind of feedback to the visuals and the characters and I just love that man Thank you and thank you and we really appreciate you doing the show We thank you loved it. It was a phenomenal show. We loved you in it Well, we'll talk about that more as well but how did We've seen you in a few things I think of the first thing. Well, was it gangs or Rossi the first thing we saw him in Rick I actually think the first thing we For you, yeah, yeah, Gangs of was a very was the first thing on your resume But I think we actually saw Rossi first and then we saw gangs. Oh, yeah So we've seen you a few times, but this was it felt like you had basically become a different person in and but not a lock It was it was a great great Character, so I'm wondering how did how did the opportunity come about and how did when you first read the script? How did you? How did you like the character? well, if you see the kind of filmography I have It's you know, I don't know maybe the way I look Which is very hard and harsh looks I have so I always get these you know very dominant Male characters either either they are negative or you know the gray shade or the positive characters, but they're always very dominating Take it for for Gangs of Wassey poor or Razi or maybe wish or upum with Kamal Hassan So they're all very very dominating characters. So first time when I have I read this this particular script Patan look I was like oh Hatir is is not is not one of them, you know He is is he's very common man You know you see him around you and you you have seen people like him you know struggling in life to get to get better in life and You know, they need one one good chance to go there and And I see Hatir I mean every man, you know throughout the world when when you believe in something so nicely, but Maybe the time or system or or your circumstances. They don't allow you They don't they don't give you those opportunities and once you are so desperate to to you know to To get something or to prove something You get a chance and you don't want to leave it You know, so that that was the first thing which struck in my mind that Hatir I'm is very vulnerable is very human like he He is very irritating and he's very lovable at times. He's a powerful at times. He's very, you know powerless. There are Many shades in in hot and at the same time the entire script was so nicely written and you know We wouldn't do each other. So I love that writing. So yeah, that was the start of it Yeah, and the character arc that we watch with this character We absolutely loved and for us there were two moments for him that seemed to be Really pivotal in his his growth and one of them was when his wife slaps him Yeah, it was that for you as well when you read the script Did you see that as a pivotal moment for the character when she slapped him almost like a wake-up call for him in a way? Yes, you know what there are many very small moments in the in the script when you can say that they were pivotal very into that zone of you know of Not going back again now because this is it and right I have to achieve this to get all the all the love and Right of course that was one moment But I think for me it was it was the moment when I saw my son on bed He's hurt somebody has been And that is the moment that if I can't even save or can't even protect my child I'm supposed to do What I'm gonna I'm gonna do in my career or in my at my job I can't in a force. I'm in the forces. I am in I'm a police officer and I can't even protect my son He's going haywire. He's going out of line. He's going somewhere He might and being a police officer, you know the way the way his his son is Getting things and he has involved. He's been involved in in these things in life He knows as a police officer that he might get killed or he might end up in jail some At this part So I think for men when it's like I have to do it. I can't I can't be at back foot right now Yeah Yeah, that's that that's life is very interesting also in that's in that sense that still makes you back on the ground and Realize that you have to be in all your senses. You can't just go haywire. You have to be understood You have to be kind of, you know Careful with the things also Yeah, yeah, yeah, did yeah, did she actually slap you? Yeah, in in two takes actually I took it once I Generally wanted to do one one take and I remember she was she was we were rehearsing and she was slapping me and you know With a fake slap and everything else and then I realized When it come for my close up, I realized that it this this there has to be an impact This is this is very crucial for so in one take I took it I genuinely just before the take I just leaned in like half half a feet and she didn't and notice that so for her I had to do it. I didn't know No other way around I thought that's awesome I wanted to talk to you about the new trend in India with all the web series going on Netflix Amazon The platform they're giving really talented, but a lot of people would consider underrated like yourself And people like that the opportunity to really shine and show your talent And what do you what do you what do you do you see it as a new trend in Hollywood and I mean I Think it is because I think already platform is the one where India for Indian audience. It's very new, you know It's just for three or four years and especially for last two years It's been more and this this lockdown situation make it more, but you know in trend Because people at home for last four months So suddenly they they realized that this all the platform that play Amazon or all these platforms they they have things we can watch, you know if they have Stuff so I think it's very new for India In terms of people watching entertainment or shows or films or things on on on these platforms It's growing up and it's definitely good for for the people Who don't get chance in in mainstream Bollywood cinema because there are you know there you can't make those kind of films and you can't make everybody You know in a lead role and it's kind of kind of at the end of the day It's business, you know you people go and watch films in theaters and you put so much amount of money on a film If you go don't get back. It's a disaster, right? So so I think This is good for for and With the products like, you know platform though The privilege of having a star face is gone because people out of country don't know you so they they look at the content So yes, so if the content is not good It's not gonna it's gonna the star face doesn't want to help you in a way because they don't know that face Only your people know that face So they give you that money in theaters not on not on Netflix because they don't know you So that that's that's happening Like if if we consider as we Indian audience and we see in a bar of blood or or maybe or lucifer or maybe What the game game of thrones and many series we see Untouchables and we know those actors because they have done something great on screen We don't know their faces before that before that product Yeah before that series. So we started knowing them money heist was a big hit in India. Yeah, you know that game of thrones was Super duper hit Yeah Bar of blood and all these things are super duper because now people know those actors and they go back and google them and then see their other stuff also So this global thing makes it more I think makes it more authentic for for for writers and for directors and for actors They want to work In in an environment or on the content, which is globally accepted Yes Yeah, yeah Globally accepted as well as the fact that there are certain restraints that are put on you when you do something Yes Exactly versus stuff you can do. We asked that question of both Nwazid and Siddiqi and Anjuan Kashyap said if you had a preference Do you prefer the process of television versus film? They said they preferred the television process to you Television for for this you mean the OTT yeah OTT platform? Yes, yes, I think I see see that they both have their own kind of courage mind in sense You know when you go for a film, which is you know on a big screen Audience see you and they shout on your name and they you know, they throw even they throw coins On on screens. That's how it is. This is crazy in India for that So that's also a very nice, you know view. That's also a very nice thing to watch but I think It there has to be there. There is a good balance now because On on audit platforms as you said that there is no censor for for this But there is of course there is self censored thing OTT platforms gives you a rating for like 18 plus or 13 plus or 10 plus They they give you choices to go there and watch them So which is I think which is more good because you have to at the end of the day You have to understand which what do you want to see? And if you don't give a good content people have the button in their head They will switch you and go on something else Right So I think I love both of them in a way because I love that kind of Indian cinema I have seen the power of that cinema people watching those actors on screen even If I talk about like Nawaz Uddin Siddiqui and I have seen him on screen I have worked with him in Gangsova Sibar and I've seen him growing Growing As an actor also and as a star also Just before the day of Gangsova Sibar Who he was an actor who's working as an actor in Indian cinema as name called Nawaz Uddin Siddiqui Within three days. He was the heartthrob of India We see that power of Within three days. I'm telling you it was like people were going mad about him And they have they go they went back and saw everything he had worked on like every small Characters he has worked on like maybe two scenes in a film or one scene a film And they loved it So that also has a power in in in the terms of if you if you're doing good that also a great Scenario and sometimes there are few stories who you can tell only two and a half hours or two and two minutes Two hours or two and a half hours in ten minutes. You can't stretch that that story in in in nine hours or ten hours You know, you will lose that story So it depends on the content actually. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm I love the amazon's doing a phenomenal job with content. Yeah And and doing interesting stories with great actors like yourself Mirage and Abhishek And and many of their other series as well and Netflix is doing stuff and So I love that it's One given great content with great stories, but also giving Actors who aren't the star actors the platform. Yes their talent. That's Yes, yes, but I I do wonder. Do you know if uh, we're gonna get a season two Well, I had uh, I had Some some kind of rumored thing because I had never talked about it When I was approached for this, but there was no season two at that time of Uh, that that kind of time But then Anushka ma'am said somewhere that uh, we are for that they could be a season two and Then the creator of the show Sudheep Sharma. He said that okay, we are we are thinking now. I think on on a very nice I think the on the amazon and Anushka and Sudheep can tell you the real story behind it. I so want to be Yeah, in the in the singing. Yeah, because I I really need I I think everybody wants it I think it's not just me everybody wants a season two of pata love and it's gonna be a great journey again It's gonna be happy for me. But yeah, great Yeah, it's it's one of our favorite things about the show We regularly will look at the films and there are certain shows and certain films We can recommend to people here in america that we tell them Do not presume you know indian artistry because most americans, they think With musical numbers and things like that. Yeah, one of our favorite things about the look is it's it's both very indian But it's also very universal. Yes. Yes. Yes. One of our favorite things about the show Um, I had a question for you about something we observed in the character and in Early on We noticed the way that he's talking to his wife and to his son and for me and I both mentioned about being rude to her But we had a lot of Those are subscribers say to us. Hey, that's normal behavior for a lot of indian men here in india We saw a transformation In your character from the first episode to the end. He becomes the gentler kinder Man, I think that was intentional, wasn't it? Yes. Yes. Yes I think I think see You know, uh, it's I think it's what makes it Universal the behavior of hathira makes it universal When I have seen this, uh, uh, you know, uh, without being an uh Only not indian, but I have seen this in cinema worldwide that The people in their bad times or in their down going times. It's like they are losing stuff They're losing control in life. They get hyper in in life, you know They they get irritating in life very small things It's just a natural human behavior. I think there is a if somebody you you see a kid who is just five years old And some somebody snatches his pen or pencil or maybe a book. He's very fond of he gets very hyper, you know Which he deserves Better in a way. So I think this is very universal behavior That hathiram in the state of hathiram when there is nothing there is no ray of hope for him Nothing is going in the right direction. He's more irritating. He's more he's more Illogical in life I'm sure that he has been a very gentle man and very gentler and kindler man In in in the past, but during the circumstances and you know in the past 10 and 15 years There is a dialogue in in in the very first episode when he says that this is the life You know, there are three three subsections of life. There is sorgh loak and there's Dharthi loak and Bata loak. There are people in different zones and different social strata of life And that counterpart Ansari says sir The Hindi line is the asa nahi hota hai. That means that It does not work like that Then he says of course it does you have been in the service for just three months I have been in the service for 15 years 15 fucking years and I know what happens to a man to a man who is who is who is who is very I When I was designing the background of hathiram I always knew that he used he used to be a very good life human being and a very nice cop He was very idealistic for the job He was very, you know honest for the job But the system Just crashed him in a way. Yeah, they don't want an honest man in the mainstream because he may cause Problem for everyone in the system. So they just sideline him slowly and steadily They just sideline him. So for him now it's just you know going for a job and just Being bored there and getting a salary. That's it and he know that he can do better He always knew that So that behavior changes When he is getting into the right zone of his own mind He's getting control out of the non-controllable situation Yeah, so when he's getting control of the situations, he's getting more gentler now. He knows power gives you more You know power gives you calmness The knowledge gives you the power and that that gives you calmness It's okay. I know I can handle it that kind of that's kind of you know, godfather thing. I know I say I told you pop. I told you pop. I handle it. I'll handle it. So relax So that's kind of Michael Corleone line, you know telling to Don Vito Corleone. Okay. I told you why something bothering you It's okay. I told you I'll handle it. So I'll handle it Relax There's some more wine. I'll I'll take care. He's so calm in that situation So I think that happened to Hathira And you talked about his his background. Is that something that uh, how How detailed do you get with your background of your characters? Is it something that you normally discuss with the director or do you take it on yourself and then bring it to the director? What's your process with that? I think it depends both ways. Uh, when it first of all, it was very very, uh, you know nicely written and very Uh elaborately written by Sudeep sir is he's amazing is like that writings are so amazing I I when I read it. I was like, oh, you have done my job like most of my job on the paper Which is great because that's how that's how uh, it has to be So I what I did I read that script so many times Because I that's my personal belief if you if you want to know a character on paper You have to go through him You know number of times because like in life if I meet Both of you, uh, first time we have a you know, kind of Behavior in between because we don't know each other Maybe after 10 meetings or a month or like meetings 100 times We know each other. So we know how how rig gonna, you know, behave or how going to behave in some circumstances You know, so it's the same process for me if I want to know a character on paper I need to read it again and again and again and again So so that I can understand what why he's doing something in in some given circumstances in a given situation So on that I think I go back I take from the this thing and then I go back. I think that has to be uh, kind of The right way because I can't make a background and then ended up Wrong situation because uh, I have to start from here and going backward to the life So You see haathiram have the relationship with my wife and the son So I have a kind of I I do that that I take my own background And catch up with the director or show creator and to just to have you know, uh, kind of meetings and sittings Discussing how it would have been for haathiram in in the past life and What circumstances he had been there where he was born where he was studied where he how where and how he got married And you know first job and so there are glimpses In in the writing, you know, you can see those glimpses in the writing when he says don't talk about my father every time I do something my dad used to beat me like hell. I don't touch your son Why are you? Why are you saying that you always compare me with my father? Because there's a tense relationship with father So I I I I in great writing it is Uh, there's a common thing in every good writing because there's there are I believe there are threads Of your characters lying in those In those in that script You can find a thread maybe in the seventh episode of of haathiram's motivation when he says that I have seen, you know Uh, the kind of rejection in in my father's eyes for me throughout life But I can't see the same rejection same hatred in my son's eyes for my rest of my life So that's kind of a motivation for him also that I just cannot lose this case right now Even if I'm dead, I would prefer that I just cannot lose this so I find all these little threads in the lying in those scripts So I have to read it like and it always happens when you see a film Maybe 15 times or 30 times or 40 times you will find a different Maybe one line different in a different notion. That's Mm-hmm That's I think that comes from the theater because in theater that happens, you know In maybe 20th show you get to know. Oh, shit man. Fuck. This was the line which has to be In a different way. Yes that happens That happens in theater And that the theater is the oldest oldest form of of acting So I I I believe in that form because I have to read it and in films. We can't do we can't do that What is your theater background? I had I Go for theater. I used to do theater in my college time and then dead for like three hours three Three years and then I joined the film and television issue of India, which is in Pune So it's a proper two years training course Acting training course So yeah, three three a three and a half years of theater. Yeah, that's awesome Well, it's very clear from your work As well as the way you converse Your training one of my favorite things about you as an actor Are things that a lot of people don't pick up on unless they know what to look for and there there isn't a moment Where I see you on screen and I know We're already processing where you were Uh Yes, there's always the believability of even in a chase scene I know you did the work before they said action You knew where your character was two scenes before and what was leading you into that scene Yes, and and that's that um I would and I we tell people all the time for aspiring actors We tell them training training training and I would imagine you'd say the same thing Yes Yes, but that helps in a lot, I mean As we were talking about reading a script that helps a lot If you don't read a script you don't know the flow of your thing Even if you are like and especially especially uh in cinema a theater is a different thing when there's there's Though, you know curtain is open Everything is an actor's hand the cinema is not like that We can start from the last scene of the of the film or the show So you have to understand the graph of it. My first day of shoot Was a scene from uh episode six and seen from episode one two scenes I did for first day first day of the shoot So you need a good team also to understand that You know, there was there was a very good team To make me understand. Oh, this has happened, you know, and this has not this is going to be After this scene and this the story has you know has traveled Till here like this But I think that's why I said that I had to read that story So many times that I don't think when I go on on sets. I know it's not about oh Sorry, what happened in the last scene or what happened in the last no that cannot happen If that that is happening to an actor I think you will lose the spontaneity of the scene you will lose the entire Entire feel of the scene. Yes, you will you will be thinking what I'm gonna do next That's that's not uh, it's like preparing if you're going for a war you have to prepare at home You can't be at the ground and now okay. Let's prepare now here That's not a right right way to do it. Yeah, yeah Yeah, you have to get prepared at home You're you're very really natural. It's our favorite types of right. We're just very effortless and natural and I know From a different interview you said looked up to um Irfan and and monat Yes, your other inspirations and what made you want to become an actor See, uh I never wanted to be an actor but till my graduation to be very honest I wanted to be an indian army officer, which is which is which was you know in my my state Which is very new very near to deli. It's hariana There are so many uh senior and batch mates and junior students during during my Graduation that they used to prepare for in an army because that's how the people people go there. There's no background of Actors or cinema actors or professional actors as such so, uh I used to do that But that didn't happen and I started doing theater which went on for three three and a half years and then I joined FTI I think during film is shoot What happened? We have we used to watch world cinema, which is you know Uh, great learning as an as a cinema student just not just an actor But as a as a cinema student it was great watching You know japanese cinema korean cinema western cinema iranian cinema and uh, you know Understanding how they they create stories on screen, which is amazing and beautifully You know it it it gives something in your mind and in your body you you get attached to those characters And I still remember, you know That I think that was the time I I was getting to know this craft as an art form And who are the Who are the craftsmen of this form? You know who are the artists of this this genre? so so Definitely irfan irfan bhai and manoj bhai they were always inspiration for us all I think they were interesting for an entire generation in india And before that they were like, you know nasirikun Shah and ompuri and and and many actors, you know Uh, so uh and at the same time you're looking at the western cinema also like I am I'm a huge fan of alpachino and deniro and daniel and you know The many actors you can see their craft, you know Getting into those On those characters and behaving like them, you know living those characters on screen So I think uh, it depends after sometime it depends on on on the work of every actor There are sometimes very new actors and you see Some amazing, you know portrayal of a character on screen and you get Blown away by that and you're like oh Well, that's that's something new on on screen. Yeah, so that gives you I think now work gives you every Every work gives you every product gives you the high of it the inspiration from it Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, but I love I love irfan and pachino and deniro and like I I was watching Oh Martin Scorsese's film few days back one more another film the Irishman was on Netflix and it came and like Oh much. I think it's one of the finest The portrayal of characters of those actors. They are in a different zone. You can't you can't just do that You need You know, you need some different kind of understanding of those characters. Yeah, you just can't go there and do that Well, yeah, they're like, you know slaves slaves books for us Yeah, yeah, yeah, we we put you for we really do We when we watch you and think of you we put you in the same categories for us as far as Thank you Because you have that you have that aspect of effortlessness where You do what an actor should do is you're never caught acting. You're just Now I love that job ricks I just love that that being in front of camera. I just love that I I I live there, you know The best time I had lived my life is either at home Or in front of camera. Otherwise I have this Well, I was saying you your resume obviously you've been acting for a while now But it seems like things have started to change With pata look have you noticed more attention and more authors and things of that nature with pata look and people recognizing me Yes, yes, definitely. I've been I've been here for almost a decade now. Yeah, almost a decade. That's a long time But thankfully I've been working with with the great directors But but that's that's kind of, you know, uh, you know, your your journey was not so bad Because I always get some work to to you know to do my my thing and you know kind of but the kind of popularity after pata look is is is enormous. It's it's going is something, you know, uh, I The day it got released on 15th of last last month So it was 15th. It was like next three days. I couldn't understand what happened because I I never I never got that kind of attention, you know, of course razi was good hit and you know, everybody was praising and this and that But pata look did something and because It's on oddity platform and I think because of the circumstances also everybody at home Watching it like, you know, they they are there. I think they were just waiting for something You know good on screen, which is it it went Good for us for for pata look people and I used to tell people and friends and family that I don't know.
