अंजुम शर्मा ने रणवीर सिंह की तारीफ: कहा- वो बहुत कमाल और सिक्योर एक्टर हैं; ‘धुरंधर’ में रहमान के रोल को भी सराहा

Actor Anjum Sharma is in the news these days for her character ‘Munna’ in the web series ‘Kaptaan’. After Sharad Shukla of ‘Mirzapur’, Anjum has played a completely different and interesting character this time. In a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, Anjum Sharma talked about the struggle of being an outsider in the industry, the insecurity of stars, the changing era of OTT. Question: Has OTT changed the way Bollywood and mainstream cinema tell stories? Answer: Absolutely. OTT is an extension of mainstream cinema. The same filmmaker came, who took the experience of films and made series like ‘Mirzapur’, ‘Sacred Games’. The only difference was that here a long format was available, so the stories could be shown in more depth and openly. Question: Being an outsider in the industry, did you ever have to face insecurity or politics? Answer: Sometimes it happens that the entire matter of casting in a film or character depends on the combination. I don’t blame anyone for this. Many times the makers see how two actors will look together on screen, whether it is a big star or some other actor. In such a situation, if the presence or performance of any one artist seems more dominating, then it may be that he is not the right fit for that character or story. Many times the story needs an actor who does not overpower the other character and maintains balance on the screen. This happened to me once or twice in the beginning, but I consider myself lucky that the people I worked with always provided a very safe and supportive environment. Be it Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi ji or Vijay Verma in ‘Mirzapur’. I was quite new at that time, whereas those people were quite experienced, but seeing them I felt that you should be as comfortable as you can be. Because the artist in front is working completely securely, supporting and appreciating you. I always felt that they do not want to show you down, but want to take you with them and take you forward. Question: But it is also heard in the industry that good scenes are cut or good actors are replaced? Answer: It was a long time ago. In a film, an actor was cast who was already working in films and was associated with the industry, but he was not completely aware of the accent and the character for which he was chosen. I was called without much explanation and told that his voice had to be dubbed. Without asking why, how or how much money I would get, I immediately said yes. I thought that if you have called, there must be some reason. I did the dubbing and later when the film was released, I saw that the final dubbing was very similar to what I had done. Then I thought that perhaps my dubbing might have been used as a reference. Such experiences teach a lot. Especially if you have come into the industry from outside, then you understand that opportunities here do not come to you on their own, you have to create them yourself. Question: What was the thing in Dhurandhar 2 that impressed you the most? Answer: After watching Dhurandhar 2, I felt after a long time that I would like to watch such a long film of about three and a half hours again. Especially the initial sequence of Ranveer Singh’s village captivates you completely. The film has all those things that make good cinema memorable. Question: Want to work with makers like ‘Animal’ and ‘Dhurandhar’? Answer: Absolutely. I am very keen to work with makers like Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Vishal Bhardwaj, Aditya Dhar. I feel there is still a lot left to be explored in me. The right director and the right story give the right direction to your energy. Question: Is there any character in ‘Dhurandhar’ which you would like to do? Answer: No, that means I can’t say that I could have added different flavours. Rehman Dacoit in Dhurandhar Part One was such a character that I felt he had played it very well. Akshaye Khanna has done it very well. Looking at them you feel that if you had done this, you could have added two or four more things to it. Ranveer Singh has done wonders. The biggest thing is that he is a very secure actor. He blends completely with the story and other characters. Question: Do PR and social media get more importance than talent in the industry today? Answer: Look, I will not say that the industry is completely like this, but yes, there is definitely a gap today. On one hand there is your talent, craft and work and on the other hand it is said that your PR should be very strong, you should know how to market yourself. I believe that the real job of an actor or any creative person is to do his work with honesty and hard work. If you have done good work despite all the difficulties, then the same trend should continue. Your identity should be based on your talent, credibility and craft.
