Was there any embarrassment in accepting the role?Īctually, I think about the embarrassment now, I don’t think it was there. Yes definitely there was a thought about how the script would turn out. When my director Akhilesh Jaiswal told me the idea that he wants to make a film on Mastram I was excited. Then it sunk into me that the film was about a porn writer. What kind of scenes would there be? How were they going to shoot the porn angle? Would the end-product come across as a C-grade film as it had no big name attached to it? These were the concerns which came up after the initial excitement. But embarrassment doesn’t have space in an actor’s life. An actor like me cannot afford the luxury of embarrassment. The rest of society and people stopped existing for me the day I started doing theatre.ĭid you have to perform sex-related scenes? I am glad the people whom I am answerable to are only my parents and couple of close ones.
