Paresh Rawal had exclusively sat with Filmfare for a tête-à-tête while promoting his movie Nikita Roy, alongside director Kussh Sinha. We had taken the opportunity to ask the senior star about his thoughts on taking up good role, which may still challenge him as an artiste. When asked what motivates him to pick a script, Paresh had noted that the role has to be challenging and meaty.

He had said, “Challenging role ho. It is very simple for me. Aapne mujhe role diya, aur agar ye mujhe darr lage ki main ye karunga toh marr jaunga… (You have given me a role and if I feel that I will die when I perform it…).” He added, “Izzat nikal jayegi, main dhang se kar nahi paunga. But somewhere deep down, wahi darr mujhe motivate karta hain. Agar aap main talent hain, aapka hunar hain, aapka craft hain, toh karo. Karke dikhaao. Wo main karta hoon. Mujhe uss kisam ke role hee, challenging role hee karne mein mazaa aata hain.”

He also shared if he has developed a method to his madness. Rawal shared, “Har actor ki apni alag method hoti hain. Sirf Stella Adler jaisi ek hee pattern nahi, har actor ka alag ek road map hota hain to arrive at a particular emotion. Wo apne aap ko prepare karna padta hain.”

The actor has been in the news for his role in Priyadarshan starrer Bhooth Bangla. While there was much speculation about Hera Pheri 3 as well, Akshay had recently noted that the movie is not being made currently. However, fans have been requesting for updates on its timelines, to which Akshay noted that Hera Pheri 3 has been put on hold and will not be happening anytime soon.
