Mumbai, Veteran actor Soni Razdan says she does not put herself into preconceived boxes as a performer and approaches every role with the same enthusiasm.
“As an actor, I approach every role with the same enthusiasm. And every role demands different things from me as an actor or from anybody as an actor. I just approach it from that perspective. Directed by Harish Vyas, the film follows stubborn father Hari Prasad Sharma and his independent-minded son Om Prasad Sharma, with their conflicts taking them from Bhopal to Varanasi. “I’m lucky that Anshuman thought that I could do this role. And I hope that I don’t disappoint. He is very kind.
The 69-year-old actor, who currently stars in the slice-of-life film “Om Ka Hari”, said she is confident she could adapt herself to a completely different setting, citing popular series “Panchayat” as an example. And I think I just don’t have these filters and these boxes don’t exist in my own head,” Razdan told PTI in an interview. In “Om Ka Hari”, Razdan stars alongside Raghubir Yadav and Anshuman Jha in a story about a father-son relationship. Razdan said she was grateful to Jha, who is also the film’s producer, for considering her for the role in a small-town story. I hope audience thinks that I’m great,” she said.
“I played all kinds of characters there.
She began her career in theatre under veteran theatre director Satyadev Dubey and said the experience exposed her to a variety of roles. So, I think that’s where my ability to mould myself as a character came from,” said the actor, known for films such as “36 Chowringhee Lane”, “Saaransh”, “1942: A Love Story”, “Patiala House”, “Raazi” and “No One Killed Jessica”.
