‘We have a lot of stress in our everyday life, with our jobs, financial situation…’
‘When a person comes to a theatre, it’s nice to leave them feeling happy.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite being actress Bhagyashree’s son, making inroads into the film industry was not a cakewalk for Abhimanyu Dassani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He worked behind the camera for a decade before landing his first acting job as the lead in Vasan Bala’s Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota<\/em> in 2018.<\/p>\n

While the film won widespread critical acclaim and Abhimanyu was unanimously praised for his performance, the buzz was rather low-key for the breakout star.<\/p>\n

As he gears up for his next release Aankh Micholi<\/em>, the actor looks back on his journey thus far.<\/p>\n

“I found people in my life that I can pick up the phone and call any time, and they’re ready to help me and take me under their wing. It always shows you a clearer path and a different way of thinking,” Abhimanyu tells Mayur Sanap\/Rediff.com<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your last outing was Nikamma<\/em>, a massy comedy film. Aankh Micholi<\/em> seems to be in the same genre too. What got you excited?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nikamma<\/em> was a masala action entertainer and this is a family comedy film. They are different genres.<\/p>\n

There hasn’t been an out-and-out family comedy that you can see with your parents, children, grandparents. This film is as clean as a whistle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All your films have had elements of humour in them, be it Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, Meenakshi Sundareshwar<\/em>, Nikamma<\/em>. Are you drawn to comedy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely. We have a lot of stress in our everyday life, with our jobs, financial situation or other things.<\/p>\n

When a person comes to a theatre, it’s nice to leave them feeling happy. Even if it’s a great subject, if there can be some humour element into it, it gives a respite from everything that’s going on in our community and our country and in the world.<\/p>\n

Comedy is a great way to put your message as well as story across. But it’s also a tough genre.<\/p>\n

Having said all of that, I couldn’t leave this opportunity to work with stalwarts such as Paresh Rawal sir, Umesh (Shukla<\/em>) sir, Sharman Joshi, Vijay Raaz and Divya Dutta ma’am.<\/p>\n

It was a great learning experience for me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since you said comedy is a tough genre to tackle, were you nervous about headlining a project and sharing screen space with these comedy legends?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, to be honest, this was an acting workshop for me.<\/p>\n

I was on set every single day.<\/p>\n

Whether it was my scene or not, I would be on set absorbing like a sponge, observing everything from the other actors.<\/p>\n

I had my set of questions and I took them to Paresh sir.<\/p>\n

I tried to understand the different approaches to single scene. You’ve seen me use that in Meenakshi Sundareshwar<\/em>. What I learned from this film was what I used in that film.<\/p>\n

And since that was appreciated a lot, I’m guessing that I learned quite a bit from my co-actors.<\/p>\n

So Aankh Micholi<\/em> was shot before Meenakshi Sundareshwar<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This movie, as well as Nikamma… <\/em>all of them were shot before 2020.<\/p>\n

I finished my job and the world stopped. (Laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Hope you’re in a happy space with these films finally getting released.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, I am always happy. I’ve enjoyed my process and happy that they are coming out.<\/p>\n

I found people in my life that I can pick up the phone and call any time, and they’re ready to help me and take me under their wing.<\/p>\n

It always shows you a clearer path and a different way of thinking.<\/p>\n

It’s been five years for you in the industry since your first release. Do you pause and reflect on your journey so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I got into the industry in 2008 as an assistant director. My first film came out in 2019. So it took me 11 years to get my film out.<\/p>\n

Again after that, the media did not write about the international awards and standing ovations I got around the world.<\/p>\n

But I don’t see it as a challenge, it’s an adventure.<\/p>\n

I chose this line of profession, I work towards it. I’d like to stand on my two feet.<\/p>\n

Please go on…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love learning and growing with the times.<\/p>\n

I’ve been enjoying my journey, constantly evolving, learning, choosing films of absolutely different genres.<\/p>\n

I make sure that I put in my effort 100 per cent and leave the rest to fate and to destiny.<\/p>\n

Two out of three films of mine are award-winning, one of them is internationally acclaimed and won awards all around the world.<\/p>\n

These things are not written about me usually, unlike other newcomers.<\/p>\n

But I like my work to speak for itself. I don’t blow my own trumpet.<\/p>\n

This film is about lies and liars. In your real life, how do you deal with people who lie to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t lie.<\/p>\n

I don’t do well with lies.<\/p>\n

I’m a very bad liar, I start laughing.<\/p>\n

I’m a guy who usually sees through things. I’m very observant.<\/p>\n

Because I’m honest, I really don’t like lies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your mom once said you two will surely do a film together. Are you actively looking for the script?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing exciting or challenging has come to us so far.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, someday someone will bring a subject that excites and challenges both of us, and we’ll see.<\/p>\n

What’s next in the pipeline?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My next one is a dark comedy, which will probably come out in the first quarter of 2024. That’s a fun one, I’m very excited.<\/p>\n

I also have an action film coming out end of next year.<\/p>\n
