No brief given: Ashish on playing alleged Wankhede-like cop
India, Oct. 15 -- A
ctor Ashish Kumar's role of a cop in Aryan Khan's debut directorial Ba***ds of Bollywood and even though his screentime was much less that other characters, he has perhaps generated maximum buzz. The audience was quick to allegedly compare Ashish with real life cop Sameer Wankhade. However, the newcomer says he wasn't given any brief for the role.
Speaking exclusively to HTCity, when asked what brief was given to him, Ashish says, "As such no brief was given. Casting director gave me the scene and said 'it's a cop character. Whatever you feel by reading the script just perform in you manner. I followed the lines and they liked it the way I approach the scene and I got selected!"
The actor, who hails from Seoni, Madhya Pradesh, went through the regular process of auditioning and was called with a confirmed role within two days. The shooting of Ashish's scene took just one day, "Ye ek hi din mein shoot ho gaya tha but wo time period, with the team with Aryan was great. Puri team itni active thi ki ache se kaam karna hai. Team bilkul focused thi."
Given the controversy surrounding the role, ask if he he regrets doing this role, and Ashish says, "No comment."
"Maine ye nahin socha ki screentime kam hai, but ek hai, achcha hai, aur mujhe acha karna hai bas," he says.
"Kyunki ye scene bhale hi ek hai lekin iske peeche 1.5 lag gaye isko shoot hone mein. Main humesha se ye hi soch ke iss field mein aaya tha ki main jo bhi karunga, mera presence hona chahiye. Main as a filler use nahi ho sakta," he signs off....
