Villains make the narrative interesting but unlike the black and white portrayal of negative characters in the past, they are given a backstory in cinema today, says veteran actor .
The 88-year-old actor, who embodied evil men of all shades in the films of the 70s and 80s, is being praised for his guest appearance in Sandeep Reddy Vanga바카라s 바카라바카라.
Chopra said the negative characters were not justified in movies earlier and gave the example of his 1973 hit 바카라바카라. Directed by Raj Kapoor, the film starred and in the lead.
바카라In those days, we were stamped as the bad guys... It was in a straight way, whether Prem Chopra, Amrish Puri, Pran sahab or anyone else, it was like, 'Yeh gadbad karne wale hain' (people knew that we were up to some mischief),바카라 the veteran actor told PTI in an interview.
바카라Like, in 바카라Bobby바카라, I just had one dialogue and that became very popular. Raj (Kapoor) didn바카라t have to explain. People knew that he was going to do something,바카라 he said, recalling his most famous dialogue, 바카라Prem naam hai mera, Prem Chopra바카라.
But in 바카라Animal바카라, Chopra said a reason has been given for Ranbir바카라s revenge in the film.
바카라The narrative was made interesting because of the negative characters (in the past). It is the same even now. They are a very important part of the film. Now-a-days, the difference is every negative character has a reason, how and why he has become a villain.
바카라In 바카라Animal바카라, there바카라s a reason why he () is like this and that바카라s because his father was shot and he had to take revenge,바카라 the actor said.
Directed by Vanga of 바카라Arjun Reddy바카라 fame, 바카라Animal바카라 showcases a violent world set against the backdrop of a troubled relationship between Ranvijay and his father Balbir Singh, played by Anil Kapoor.
Chopra, whose career has spanned 60 years that saw him feature in many prominent movies such as 바카라Do Raaste바카라, 바카라Purab aur Paschim바카라, 바카라Teesri Manzil바카라, 바카라Kati Patang바카라, 바카라Souten바카라 and 바카라Trishul바카라, plays the role of the elder brother of Ranbir Kapoor바카라s grandfather.
The cinema veteran believes the audience has become more appreciative of a good performance, regardless of a positive or a negative role.
바카라People have become emancipated, they appreciate it if you give a good reason. Sometime back, people were not able to adjust to the actors who were playing the negative characters.
바카라When a person (who generally plays a) negative character is playing a positive character, they had doubts. In Hollywood, the actors are accepted in both (kinds of) roles, total negative or total positive, the performance matters. TV and all that (referring to OTT platforms) have made them (the audience) more literate about these things,바카라 he observed.
The actor also praised Ranbir for his performance in the action drama. 바카라Animal바카라 marks the second collaboration between the duo after the 2009 comedy-drama 바카라Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year바카라.
바카라Ranbir is a very hardworking actor and performed so well in 바카라Rocket Singh바카라. In this film (바카라Animal바카라), he is tremendous. He has done a great job. It is a very difficult and complicated role.
바카라It is action-oriented but even then, his character has a great background (story). People seem to love him very much. Not just him, even Bobby Deol is very good in a special appearance. All of them are very impactful.바카라
In movies, Chopra has worked with four generations of the Kapoor family -- from Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, and Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor in recent years.
All his co-stars from the Kapoor clan are thorough professionals but his most-favourite was Rishi Kapoor, who passed away in April 2020 after a battle with leukemia.
바카라Some of them gave great performances, like, Prithviraj ji was known as the great actor, then Raj Kapoor was a known superstar and a genius director. Shammi Kapoor had his own style of working. But it was Rishi Kapoor I liked the most.
바카라He was very involved when he was working. He would fit into any character easily. He was a great asset to any film that he was working on,바카라 he added.
The actor said he has experienced his fair share of highs and lows, but has managed to survive in the film industry.
바카라I바카라ve been in the profession for more than the last 60 years. I바카라m grateful to God. I바카라ve never been unfair with my work. Every film for me was a test. I바카라m very hardworking, honest, and determined. There have been a lot of embarrassments and controversies but you have to continue doing your work,바카라 he said.
Going forward, Chopra said he is looking forward to doing selective work, something like American icon Marlon Brando's character in the Hollywood classic 바카라Godfather바카라.
바카라I'm open to good roles. It has to be very selective,바카라 he added.
