Bollywood actor Aparshakti Khurana began his journey in 2016 with the Aamir Khan-starrer 바카라˜Dangal바카라™. After playing many interesting roles over the past four years, he is now gearing up for his solo release as a protagonist in the upcoming comedy film 바카라˜Helmet바카라™ opposite actor Pranutan.

In an exclusive interview with Outlook바카라™s Eshita Bhargava, Aparshakti tells us that he is happy with the way his career is shaping up. 바카라œIt feels amazing when I look back on my journey.바카라Â 

Before his debut in the Hindi film industry, Aparshakti, brother of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, was a radio jockey in New Delhi.

About his journey in Hindi cinema from being a radio jockey to an actor, Aparshakti said, 바카라œI never decided to be an actor. It was not a childhood dream 바카라“ one thing followed the other and everything started falling in place. The key is to not try too hard and that worked for me.바카라

바카라œI believe that you have to be at the right place at the right time to perform, and that is something which you can바카라™t plan 바카라“ God has been kind to me. It just happens when it happens. So, I think it just happened to me and, of course, I am not complaining,바카라 he added.

Aparshakti is all set for his 2021 release 바카라˜Helmet바카라™. Directed by Satram Ramani, the film is a quirky comedy that depicts the ground reality in the heartlands of the country, where talking about using protection for sex is looked down upon. The film also features Abhishek Banerjee and Ashish Verma in pivotal roles.

About his character, Aparshakti said, 바카라œMy character in the movie is that of an ambitious guy from Uttar Pradesh. He aspires to do something big in life and also wants to marry his girlfriend but he is not from a very well-off family. He tries to make a living and in that process, he ends up getting into something that he should not have. In the backdrop of it, there is another story which shows how even today, people are not very comfortable in going to the medical store and ask for a pack of condoms. The movie revolves around that. We have kept it organic and relatable.바카라

바카라œAfter a long time, I read a script where the character was not trying too hard to be the protagonist and that helped me relate to the character,바카라 he said, giving a reason for saying yes to the movie. 

바카라œThe comedy is quite awkward and that makes it funny. The USP of 바카라˜Helmet바카라™ is its comedy,바카라 he added.

There바카라™s a notion that people get influenced by the movie, however, Aparshakti feels otherwise. 바카라œI don바카라™t think that people get influenced by watching the film. Whatever they do, however they behave in their real life is a function of their upbringing. However, with films like 바카라˜Helmet바카라™, you can plug-in thought and encourage people to do a certain thing.바카라

OTT platforms, Aparshakti said haven바카라™t really changed the game. He feels, 바카라œThere was a need for better content and it has given it. There has been a paradigm shift in movies as well. There is going to be good and bad content on television, OTTs and films 바카라“ the platform doesn바카라™t really matter.바카라

바카라œI just hope that OTT doesn바카라™t get as corrupted or commercialised as TV in our country as that hampers the image of filmmakers and actors. We have a few really good television actors but somehow they have been bracketed as 바카라˜daily soap바카라™ actors and that is not fair,바카라 he added while talking about commercialising a platform and its impact on content.

Not many would have noticed but both the Khurana brothers have unique names. Laughing at it, Aparshakti said, 바카라œProbably, my father was on quite a trip when he was naming us. He is an astrologer and he has a knack of picking up unusual names.바카라

바카라œAyushmann and I share a typical older and younger brother relationship. He keeps me disciplined and keeps giving me the much-needed reality check being older. When it comes to career, we do discuss work, but not always. A piece of advice he keeps giving me is that I should always complete my homework before going to the set,바카라 he said while discussing his relationship with his brother Ayushmann. 

Aparshakti wants to do all sorts of movies and explore all the genres as he feels that one needs to 바카라œkeep everything coming their way in order to grow as an actor and to entertain the audience with something fresh every time바카라.
