'I don't know anything except acting': Comedian Sunil Grover said- The best part of my career is yet to come

Actor and comedian Sunil Grover was recently seen in the film 'Black Out'. His character in this film has grey shades. He has shown a new side of himself in this film, away from his comic image. Meanwhile, he had a special conversation with Dainik Bhaskar. Sunil said that I do not know anything except acting. The best part of my career is yet to come. Apart from this, he also talked about his film 'Black Out'.

How did you approach the script of 'Black Out'?

I got a call from Neeraj Kothari ji. He told me that the writers of this film Abbas and Hussain Dalal want to tell you something. Then later when I went to meet him, director Devang was also there who has written this story with Abbas and Hussain. I heard the story and I liked it. I felt I should do this film and then I agreed to do it. There is a lot of suspense in this whole film. There is some suspense associated with my character as well. Those who have not seen this film yet, I want them to watch it. When I read all those suspense while reading the script, I felt very good. I also got a lot of feedback that people are liking my character a lot.

I heard that you had some physical problem when you came for its shooting?

I had some health issues before starting the shooting of this film but I started shooting only after I got cured. Yes, I have done some action scenes in this film but I did not face much difficulty in doing them. Apart from this, the experience of working with director Devang Bhavsar was very good. I enjoyed playing this character a lot. The people associated with it are also very good.

What projects do you have coming up next?

There is also a web series, work on which is going to start from next month. Also there is a film whose shooting I will start in July. I will not be able to reveal the name right now.

During your break from Kapil Sharma's show, did you ever feel like starting 'Chala Lallan Hero Banane…' again?

I believe that everything has a lifespan. There was a time when I was doing the show 'Chala Lallan Hero Banane'. At that time people liked that show a lot. I had taken many different avatars in it. I myself enjoyed that show a lot. I did that show for almost two years. After that I started a different journey, did different characters. If I kept doing the same thing, how would I get out of it. However, I had a lot of fun doing that show. It is a lot of fun to do different characters.

Since 2013, you have appeared in only one project every year. Any special reason?

For 5-6 years I was busy with Kapil Sharma's show. So I did not have time to do other projects. In between, if I got some time, I used to do films as well. Then when I get a project, after reading it I feel that it would be fun to do, then I take out time for that. It also depends on what and how the other projects are coming. If I get 5 good projects in a year, then I will do all of them.

You have been in the industry for such a long time, do you think you have got your due in films?

I feel that I have got more than my dues. I believe that everything has a journey. Even if the beginning has been a little slow, it took time to achieve something. I even enjoyed that time when there was no work or less work. I felt from within that I will not get this time again, so enjoy it. Then when I got busy, I enjoyed that phase as well. Now I work as per my choice, which I like. I also consider myself very lucky that I got a chance to work with good people. In the future, I wish to do different types of characters, how to do things in different ways.

Do you think that you are getting more attention in web series?

I have got good screen space in web series. It is not that I have to do something different from my comic image in the web space. I am happy with my comic image. I am lucky that I got a chance to do different kinds of work. I am thankful to those directors who used me in different ways. I am happy about this.

Do you personally have any problem with the tag of a comic actor?

Here it is not just about the genre. There should be a good script. I would like to do any genre. Suppose there is a comedy script whose story is excellent and on the other hand the script of another genre is average, then I will do comedy only. I will do the one which has a good script and a good character.

What is there in this field that you have not yet explored?

I have explored more than I should have. I don't know anything other than acting. I don't try my hand in any other field. I enjoy only acting. I can't do writing or direction or any other work. I have no experience or interest in these things. The best in my career is yet to come slowly.
