Tanvi The Great actor Karan Tacker on playing a father twice! Says I won't get typecast
While many actors shy away from playing the role of a father on screen,
Karan Tacker
has no such qualms. The first time he played a father was in the web show Khakee: The Bihar Chapter. Now, he's taking on a similar role again in the movie Tanvi The Great.
Karan says, 'I've never really looked at these things from such a micro lens where I feel that once you play a father, then you will only be cast as a father. I don't think I will get typecast. In my next project, I am not playing a father.'
He elaborates further, saying, 'It's the character you pick. The profession of that character or his age is all peripheral and it doesn't really matter.'
Karan takes inspiration from his Tanvi The Great co-star,
Anupam Kher
, who only looked for great roles and marched ahead.
He notes, 'He started his career playing an old man in Saaransh (1984). I think he was not even 30 years old when he started. I feel all this slotting is in some people's minds. If you can excel in what you do, I don't think these things matter.'
'Today concept films have become typical
Bollywood films
'
Tanvi The Great has garnered international acclaim. Though it doesn't fit the mould of a typical commercial Bollywood film, Karan shares that the line between mainstream and unconventional cinema has become blurred. He remarks, 'What is a typical Bollywood film? Who knew Laapataa Ladies is going to be successful at the box office? Who knew Vicky Donor would be a commercial success? These are all unconventional films that became massive hits and then people started following the narrative.
These concept films were never supposed to be commercially viable. Today concept films have become typical Bollywood films.'
