‘Want Exciting Work Across Mediums': Karan Veer Mehra On Goals After Bigg Boss Win
Mehra will travel to Vietnam for the second schedule for Omung Kumar's Silaa. Bigg Boss 18 and Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 winner Karan Veer Mehra is currently busy shooting for Omung Kumar's Silaa. In this upcoming romantic action thriller, the actor will be seen playing the role of the antagonist. Mehra recently shared that he wants to do exciting work across mediums but is currently focusing on his acting career. Mehra will travel to Vietnam for the second schedule of the film, which also stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sadia Khateeb. He revealed that they had already filmed for 15 days in one of the world's largest caves, which requires a three-day walk to get there. Want To Do Exciting Work In a conversation with the Times of India, he said, 'I want to do exciting work across mediums, but for now, I am concentrating on my film." 'We've already shot for 15 days in one of the biggest caves in the world — only 13–14 people are allowed in at a time. It's a three-day trek to get there," Mehra added. The actor credited his Khatron Ke Khiladi experience and his upbringing in a Mussoorie hostel for preparing him for the trek. He also mentioned that they went through training with a stunt team that included martial arts and drills. 'It's a three-day trek to get there. They were confident because I had done Khatron Ke Khiladi. Plus, I grew up in a Mussoorie hostel, so trekking was a part of my life. But at this age, it's not easy. We went through training with a stunt team that included martial arts and drills," he said. Post-Bigg Boss journey Reflecting on his journey post-Bigg Boss, Karan Veer stated that had these opportunities come earlier, he wouldn't have valued them as much. He also noted that not every Bigg Boss contestant gets such chances. 'Had these things happened earlier, I wouldn't have valued them so much. I know it's transient — if I don't keep working hard, it'll fade. Not every Bigg Boss contestant gets such chances." Selective About Work Karan Veer wishes to be selective about the work he takes on. He said that after the reality show, he didn't do music videos or endorse apps but enrolled in acting workshops to refine his skills. 'Maybe that's why this film came my way. I'm now focusing on acting offers and more workshops." First Look From Silaa In July, the actor posted his first look as Zehraak from the film on Instagram. Along with the poster, he wrote, 'Khud hi khuda, khud hi insaaf! Khauf ka naya naam – ZEHRAAK." In the picture, he looked fierce, rugged and intense in his new avatar, holding a sword smeared with blood.
