Sohum Shah has spoken up about how he too wished to do commercial cinema, however, life had other plans for him. Like billions in India, he too wanted to become Shah Rukh Khan.
When life offered him an offbeat film like 바카라Ship Of Theseus바카라, Sohum Shah adjusted his compass, set sail and his long-cherished dream of starring in a commercial project came true almost a decade later with the political drama series 바카라Maharani바카라.
Shah, who hails from Sri Ganganagar city in Rajasthan, says he wanted 바카라to become Shah Rukh Khan바카라 when he started his acting career with 2013's 바카라Ship of Theseus바카라 directed by Anand Gandhi.
바카라I am an audience of commercial cinema. I wanted to become Shah Rukh Khan and wanted to do commercial films. But things were not in my hands. Life had planned something else for me. I believe a lot in destiny and you can바카라t control it. Life offered me 바카라Ship of Theseus바카라. Life surprises you. Your taste and style of acting also changes. It is important that you blend with what life throws at you,바카라 the actor told PTI in an interview.
Shah, whose film credits also include Kangana Ranaut-led 바카라Simran바카라 (2017) and 바카라The Big Bull바카라 (2019) headlined by Abhishek Bachchan, said 바카라Maharani바카라 is his "most commercial project ever".
In 바카라Maharani바카라, the actor plays the role of the shrewd Bheema Bharti, former Bihar chief minister who had handpicks his homemaker-wife Rani Bharti (Huma Qureshi) as his successor in season one. He reprised his role in the second season which premiered on August 25.
바카라바카라Maharani바카라 has turned out to be my most massy project. Not many people know about 바카라Tumbbad바카라 or 바카라Ship of Theseus바카라. I am looking forward to this journey. I want to entertain everyone, including people of my village,바카라 he added.
He also shared how his mother too didn바카라t warm up to his offbeat films as he recounted taking her to the 75th Venice International Film Festival for the premiere of 바카라Tumbbad바카라, the 2018 period horror film.
바카라I remember taking my mother for the premiere of the film at Venice but she slept in the middle. And after she came out from the cinema hall, she asked 'What kind of films do you make?'바카라
바카라Maharani 2바카라 sees Qureshi's Rani Bharti set to reign and ensure fair administration to the citizens of her state. But her path will be full of challenges.
Playing Bheema Bharti in season two came easily to him as compared with the first season, added Shah. 바카라It was easy to play the character this time as I have already played it before. In season one he did not do anything as he was bedridden but in part two he is doing a lot of things. The character is complex. He is juggling his personal life, professional life and political ideology,바카라 he said.
Some of his upcoming projects are completely different from his previous work, he said. They include a comedy film backed by filmmaker Luv Ranjan and Prime Video series 바카라Dahaad바카라, directed by Reema Kagti.
바카라I am doing a comedy film for the first time. It is something that is not expected out of me because I am perceived as a serious type of actor. It is a silent comedy film. The star cast is commercial like Nushrratt Bharuccha, Nora Fatehi and others. It is produced by Luv Ranjan,바카라 he added.
About 바카라Dahaad바카라, he said, the key reason to board the series was Kagti, known for films such as 바카라Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.바카라 and 바카라Talaash바카라.
바카라Reema was directing the show hence I wanted to do it. Besides, the character was really good. It is a serious show but my character is doing comedy. It should be released this year," he said.
Shah is also set to produce and star in a commercial thriller-comedy-drama, besides featuring in the social drama 바카라Sanaa바카라.
"With 바카라Sanaa바카라, which is with Radhika Madan, I felt director Sudhanshu Saria was very honest. I also liked the script,바카라 he added.
