Actor Aniruddh Dave, who has been seen in shows such as Patiala Babes, Y.A.R.O Ka Tashan, Suryaputra Karn, Phulwa, Ruk Jana Nahi, will soon be making his comeback with a film called Kaagaz 2.
Talking about the project, Aniruddh says that it is exactly what he was looking for.
“It is very special because working with good actors and a good script and associating with a big unit is a different feeling altogether. It’s quite a big film. Through this, I am making a new start at a new level and that is what matters,” he says, adding, “Variations, versatility, different look, different character that is an ornament of an actor. This time you will see me in the role of an army person which is very challenging and interesting for me.”
The actor says that he has consciously stayed away from TV roles.
“During the time of Covid, I was constantly looking for a meaty role in films or on the web. During this break, I learned many new things, developed new concepts and worked on learning about various characters. I have utilised this time well. I didn’t take roles in TV because they require commitment for a long time. And if I took TV then I wouldn’t have got the time for films and the web. I got around 7-8 calls to play the lead roles but I couldn’t take up those offers,” he says.
Talking about working with Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik, Aniruddh says,
“It’s a big thing in itself as I got to work with Satish Kaushik and Anupam Kher Ji. Working with such veteran actors who are constantly performing well is a big thing as you get to learn a lot. Satish Kaushik is like a mentor to me because seeing him I have always learnt a lot. When you share the screen with such great actors, you have to prepare yourself to act accordingly to that level so that you don’t look immature. Doing workshops with such actors makes you clear on how to act on the floor. It’s a blessing to work with them. When my film Chhoriyan Chhoron Se Kam Nahi got the 67th National Award previous year, it was a great deal for me as well because, if a film gets a national award in which I have played an important role then it’s a big achievement for me as well”
Meanwhile, the actor is grateful for the roles that he has got so far.
“The Almighty is great and I feel that in life if you do good then good things come to you. If you have good karma, then things work well with you. I am really grateful that I was never short of work. Yes, there were ups and downs but those are a part of life. Producers like Sidharth Tewary, Binaiferr Kohli, Ekta Kapoor have always told me that if I needed work then they are there. I feel so blessed when they messaged me that they are there. I am really thankful to such amazing people. Even Satish Ji messaged me, saying, ‘Get well soon, we have to work hard’. Sanjeev Jaiswal, who is the director, also told me that he wants to do a film with me. If you get such positive encouragement then you definitely don’t look back. I don’t want anything else because if you have this life then you can do work and just be happy. Finally my wish and manifestation is coming true and in the coming 4-6 months I would be doing good work in films as well as web.”
