Paresh Rawal has some interesting films
ahead. The actor will be working with
Rajkumar Hirani for the first time in Sanjay
Dutt's biopic. He will also portray PM
Narendra Modi in the Modi's biopic.
About Sanjay Dutt's biopic, he told a leading
daily, "I think I'm blessed that my desire to
work with Rajkumar Hirani has been
fulfilled. Then, I got to play someone like
Sunil Dutt and the cherry on the cake was
working with Ranbir Kapoor."
About his role of Sunil Dutt in the biopic, he
said, "First of all, he's been my favourite
actor and human being. I have met him two
or three times. The first time, a friend of
mine had some cancer-related issue, so we
went to meet Dutt Saab. Then, after the
Bombay riots in 1992-93, a token fast had
been organised, in which both of us had
participated. He had to deal with a lot of
things his wife's illness, his son going
adrift but in spite of that, he was a
dignified man. When your character and
values are good, only then can you carry on
like that. The only other person who comes
to my mind when I think about all this is
(Amitabh) Bachchan Saab. Despite facing so
many hurdles in his life, he never had a bad
word to say about anyone. God was with
him. You get to learn a lot from people like
them."
He also appreciated Ranbir Kapoor and his
performances and film choices. The Oh My
God actor said, "It was such a huge
challenge. You think that it's about
mimicking his mannerisms or his walk.
Haath paer koi
bhi hila dega uski tarah, magar aankh mein
baat leke aani hai (Anyone can shake hands
and legs one must know to talk through
eyes). It was important to look like a lost
child who doesn't know what to do. That's
what Ranbir has managed to do. Plus, I
think he's a great actor. Look at his choices.
No
faaltu roles! (No nonsense roles)! He has
done films like Rocket Singh: Salesman of
the Year and Wake Up Sid. An actor is
known for his choices, not by his box-office
figures. And Ranbir (Kapoor) has shown
that. Humko bhi aise actor ke
saath kaam karne mein mazaa aata hai,
varna humko bhi boriyat ho jaati hai (Even I
enjoy working with an actor like Ranbir
otherwise I get bored)."
Paresh Rawal will also be doing a biopic on
PM Narendra Modi and said that only he can
portray the PM on screen as he loves him. He
also revealed that the script is ready. "Yes,
we are making it. The script is almost locked.
There are one or two issues yet to be
resolved, then we will move ahead with it",
said the actor.
He added, "Only I can play Modi. I say that
even at the cost of sounding pompous
because I really love him. Baat samajh mein
aati hai unki (I understand whatever he
says). I have observed him a lot. I am also
acting in a film on the 2016 Uri attack,
where I play the role of National security
advisor Ajit Doval. We have been talking
about who should play Modi in that. I said
just by sporting a white beard, someone
can't be Modi on screen. Aankhon ka power
aur anguish hai Modi. People have
tremendous faith and trust in him. They
know this man is right. Some mistakes
might happen lekin accha kaam karte karte
galti ho rahi hai (Mistakes happens while
doing a good work)."
