The veteran actor speaks about his latest film ‘Dharam Sankat Mein’<\/h3>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

The recently released film \u2018Dharam Sankat Mein\u2019 is the official Hindi adaptation of British satire \u201cThe Infidel”. It is also a third satire on Indian religious practices, after \u2018Oh My God\u2019 and PK. The film sees veteran actors Paresh Rawal and Naseeruddin Shah sharing the stage together.<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Paresh Rawal spoke of the film and his experiences as an actor in it.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font> <\/p>\n

Q1. You are an actor who has beautifully tackled both extremes of characters, where on one hand you have played the role of the villain and on the other <\/strong><\/font>excelled in playing hilarious characters, leaving the audience rolling with laughter. <\/strong><\/font>How do manage to play such different roles?<\/strong><\/font>
<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m fortunate to have got the opportunity to play interesting characters. Well, some films are close to the heart while others are close to the pocket. I do commercial cinema because that helps me in sustaining my family and myself, and I do serious cinema as it feeds me as an actor.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I do not understand when actors say that the character they played in some film affected them. I think a good actor needs to possess a \u2018switch on and switch off quality\u2019 and that transformation from one character to another is quite important. I hope to continue entertaining the audience and my fans.<\/p>\n


\n<\/font> <\/p>\n

Q2. Is there any similarity between \u2018OMG!\u2019 and your recently released film \u2018Dharam Sankat Mein\u2019?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dharam Sankat Mein\u2019,\u00a0has nothing to do with ‘OMG’. It’s a different film all together. One moment you will laugh, and the other moment you will realise that whatever we are saying it’s true.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\"\"\/Q3. Can you elaborate on your character in the film?<\/strong>
<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It revolves around the story of a man named Dharampal Trivedi, who goes through an identity crisis when he realises that he was adopted when he was young and was actually born to a Muslim family. The movie certainly delivers an important message through situational comedy.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Q4. You are a National Award winning actor yourself so how was it to share <\/strong><\/font>screen space with Naseeruddin Shah who, like you, is another one of the finest actors in the industry?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

It\u2019s always a joyride to work with him. It\u2019s a learning process for me. He is not only a good\u00a0actor but also a\u00a0good\u00a0human being. I want to have timeless, truth and depth-like Naseer bhai in my career. He has always been my inspiration.<\/font><\/p>\n
