Actor Deepak Paramesh from Chennai made his grand debut in Hindi films with Ground Zero which stars Emraan Hashmi as the lead.
Sharing his experience working with the talented actor, Deepak says,
“Emraan Hashmi is incredibly grounded and generous as a co-actor. He’s someone who knows his craft inside out but still remained open and collaborative on set. He knew I had a language problem and made sure I was comfortable during our shots together. We had some interesting conversations too. I grew up watching his films and it was a dream working with him. Such a nice person. I always believe that film-making is a collaborative effort. And when you have a great cast-crew, that only levels up your performance in the film.”
Deepak also discusses how the director Tejas of Ground Zero made him a better artist during the shooting. He adds,
“Tejas sir is a brilliant director. He doesn’t impose, he guides. He gave me the space to discover my character Binu myself , but always knew when to step in and push me further. That balance helped me grow as an actor during this project. He was extremely encouraging and boosted my confidence every time. We share a great bond now! He wanted to make a realistic film and that’s what he did with Ground Zero.”
Deepak who has been in the South industry for quite some time now was reluctant to act in a Hindi film because of the language barrier. He says,
“To be very honest, I wasn’t ready for Hindi films earlier mainly because of the language barrier. But Ground Zero gave me the confidence. My experience in Tamil cinema shaped me with the discipline and versatility needed, and that helped me take this step. Now I’m all set for new challenges. I’m drawn to roles that challenge me emotionally and feel authentic. It’s exciting to see Hindi cinema go global, creating space for more authentic characters and I will be proud to be part of that journey.”
