Pulkit doesn't carry 'hangover of success' to new film
Mumbai
February 19, 2017
Actor Pulkit Samrat, who starred in the 2017 hit film "Fukrey
Returns" and is now tied up with two movies, says he does not get affected by
success or failure and prefers to move on with his next project.
His two
films, "3 Storeys" and "Veerey Ki Wedding", are releasing in March.
Asked
if he is feeling the pressure to deliver more hit movies, Pulkit told IANS here:
"I do not carry hangover of success to my new film. For me, every film is a new
assignment. Therefore, I start it with fresh energy. I don't let success or
failure affect me."
Though he has worked in some of the successful films
like "Fukrey" and "Fukrey Returns", most of his solo lead movies such as "Sanam
Re" and "Junooniyat" failed to work at the box office.
Does he regret
choosing films that did not work?
"No, not really because I have learnt
something from each film.... Filmmaking is a very collaborative effort and
success comes when every part of filmmaking works correctly," he said.
"3
Storeys" is a film set in a 'chawl' of Mumbai city. The film tries to capture
the microcosm of human existence in the busy city.
Giving an insight into
his character, Pulkit said: "My character looks like a simple guy....The person
next to him would be in doubt whether he is a good man who can be trusted or
should he be avoided. It is a very interesting and mysterious character. I think
this is the first time that I am doing something which is so multi-layered and
that is what excited me while reading the script."
The actor got to work
with one of his childhood favourite actresses -- Renuka Shahane for the first
time.
"We (the cast) had an extensive workshop. There, we opened up so
well. She (Renuka) is such an enthusiastic actress and we all learnt so much
just by observing her. She was always excited to say how differently we can do
the scene. We improvised and rehearsed…and her energy encouraged all of us to
put our best game forward," shared Pulkit.
Helmed by debutant director
Arjun Mukerjee, the film also features Richa Chadha and Sharman Joshi, among
others.
"3 Storeys" is set to release on March 9.
