Can you tell me how you go about selecting a movie, your process?ĪK: Each film happens for different reasons you can’t have a fixed notion that you enter the narration or reading a script with. SBV: You’ve played the anti-hero in your first movie. She’s a fantastic person to hang out with and she’s a beautiful woman to work with so I enjoyed myself working with her. SBV: And your experience working with Deepika Padukone?ĪK: I’ve known her from before and it’s great to see her evolve into this fantastic actor today. I think I’m a better human being and an actor because I’ve been involved with these three major fantastic performers. SBV: How was your experience working with the stalwarts of the industry such as Nassurredin Shah, Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia?ĪK: Fantastic. SBV: How important is it for you as an actor to play such versatile characters?ĪK: I think as an actor it’s the most amazing feeling when you can play characters that you have not played before that are layered that are beyond your regular heroes. I found that really interesting to play on screen. He has this constant irritation and frustration towards each and every person instead of looking at himself and wondering what he did wrong for life to pan out the way it did. He’s basically a boy who has a lot of angst against the world because he feels the world has dealt him a shitty set of cards. I play a mechanic, the only guy in the village of Pocolim who knows how to drive a car and therefore stuck on this road trip. It’s in a new language, maybe, for the typical Indian audience.
I hope it’s not looked at like an offbeat film. It’s a film about five people finding themselves in a journey to find someone else, so it’s a road trip coming-of-age kind of film. I think it’s arguably the most relatable story you’ll find. SBV: But, it looks offbeat and your director calls it offbeat too.ĪK: It’s unique, it’s different, but it’s not offbeat.
Swati Bhatt Vyas: I’ve seen the trailer of the movie, it’s very offbeat and intriguing, can you tell me something about your role in the movie?Īrjun Kapoor: First I’d like to say don’t call it offbeat, people will start thinking it’ some serious pseudo-intellectual type of film. In a candid tete-a-tete, Kapoor talks to me about his journey so far, acting, inspiration and why he doesn’t think Finding Fanny is offbeat. The satirical comedy is based in Goa, where five dysfunctional friends set out on a road trip to find Fanny. The movie is a unique attempt by Homi Adajania, known for his psychological drama, Being Cyrus. A perfect fit for this character, Savio Da Gama who is a bitter mechanic, in denial about being a loser.
Kapoor opts for a more subdued style of acting in Finding Fanny, a change from his usual dramatic portrayals we've seen him in so far. Arjun Kapoor is five films old and not afraid to experiment.
