Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, London New York and Boston…..What is the
difference in the culture and audience treat you?
I can’t expect people to know everything and understand especially in a different
language. So, we give introduction, also instructions in English, explain the
context, and give hands outs, brochures. We prepare people for our
performances.
Our culture doesn’t have the practice of studying art forms? What should
be done to have good research and documentation in these art forms?
Absolutely, there is a dire need of documentation of our folk tales, ancient
literature.
You now divide your time between acting on stage and films. How does
the practice of the craft differ in both according to you? Please mention
some of your latest film-work.
I am basically a theater actor, got into the filmmaking. During the year 2014, I
reached Mumbai…and started getting beautiful roles in the films. And by the
grace of God, the roles are growing organically…some of my films are Newton,
Dhobi Ghat, Manto are well-received..
