Bhagat Singh is more interesting than we were told: Amol Parashar
Actor Amol Parashar, who plays Shaheed Bhagat Singh in Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming film, Sardar Udham Singh, has revealed how he felt playing the role of a revolutionary.
Parashar said, “Preparing to play the role of Shaheed Bhagat Singh required a lot of reading so that I could imbibe many of his ideals. In the process, I found that he was even more fascinating, intelligent and interesting than our history. Books teach us. Working with Shoojit Sir (Sarkar) and Vicky (Kaushal) was also an enriching experience.
Amol also revealed that he will soon be seen playing the lead in another film. Parashar said, “My first film as a lead character will release in the coming months. It will happen with Vishesh Films. Both the upcoming releases are special to me for different reasons. My first film as a lead role; In the second, I have got to play a great character.
Amol also shared that he never plans anything in advance. The actor said, “Nothing is pre-scheduled on my birthday and I rarely plan anything in advance for him. Even a day before my birthday, I rarely know how it’s going to be and I love to see how it unfolds. Sometimes, it’s a big gathering of friends, sometimes it means spending quiet time with family, or I just get out of town.
He added, “In the next few days, I will start shooting for another thriller. I am looking forward to it!
When asked about how life has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Parashar said, “The lockdown taught us patience and perseverance. I am glad that my family and I are safe so far. Like I said, I’m about to start shooting two days after my birthday and I’m looking forward to getting back on the sets!
