Purab Kohli talks about spending 17 years in Bollywood and his upcoming film 'Fatso'
Purab Kohli is rather upbeat about new film Fatso that releases around the country today. Calling it an excellent film by Rajat Kapoor, the actor says, “I do films because they attract my creative sensibility and provides scope as an actor.”
While Fatso was made on a small budget, Purab feels that although it doesn’t become a blockbuster, it has a really perfect script and good talent, aside from a large number of effort that have been installed while making it. Speaking about what makes him sign a film, Purab points out, “As an actor, I always seek a fascinating role.
May be this is why I don’t have too many mainstream films to my credit. I see numerous actors projected in roles that I DO KNOW I MAY do better and that builds frustration. But on the end of the day I DO KNOW there's such a lot to showcase and explore.”
Speaking in regards to the roughly filmmakers that he loves to work with, the actor says, “I have reached some degree where just a certain kind of filmmakers approach me – filmmakers who just don’t want me to refill the distance but additionally add to the scene.”
Having been within the industry since he was 17, Purab rues about not getting his due. He points out, “I have grown up on this business. I'VE BEEN here for a very long time and still haven’t got my due. Nobody desires to take a risk within the industry. I'M insecure but I'M happy so long as I'M doing films that match my sensibilities.
