‘Want To Be Kind, Large-Hearted:' Barun Sobti On Future Plans As Producer
Last Updated:
Barun Sobti shared that if he becomes a producer in future, he would aim to be 'kind and large-hearted'.
Barun Sobti, who became a household name after his stint as Arnav Singh Raizada in the 2011 hit serial Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Dun, has carved a niche for himself in the OTT space with powerful performances in shows like Asur and Kohrra. Now, the actor, in a recent chat with an entertainment media portal, talked about his plans of stepping into the shoes of a producer in the coming years.
In a candid chat with Pinkvilla's Behind The Success segment, Sobti was asked if producing content is his next aspiration. The actor nodded affirmatively and shared that he would 'want to be a kind and large-hearted' producer.
Stressing that he would not make artists work for long hours, the 40-year-old actor said, 'I will think about life more, but I would not make my people work a lot. I think it'll be, like, 8-hour shifts." He further quipped, 'I'll be a producer when I have a lot of money."
On being asked whether he would incorporate the typical corporate timing, Barun echoed his belief in work-life balance. He said that he wouldn't mind adopting standard 9-to-5 corporate hours. 'With respect to hours—less working hours, a good life for everyone. We work a lot, and all producers want us to work 12 hours and travel 2 hours," he explained.
Addressing the difficulties and challenges faced by artists due to the gruelling schedules, the actor went on to explain how such working conditions aren't good for people struggling financially. 'I would like to make everyone's life simpler if at all some time I become a producer," he added.
Barun Sobti is all set to reprise his role in the much-anticipated second season of Kohrra. The critically acclaimed show will premiere on Netflix this year. Additionally, fans of Asur have reason to celebrate, as the actor shared a major update on the making of its upcoming season.
In the same interview, Barun revealed that the writing of the much-awaited installment is complete and the team is yet to begin the shoot. It will take a while to go on the floors.
