ZEE5 recently released Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai starring Manoj Bajpayee has been winning hearts with its compelling narrative about fake godmen and crimes against women. The intense performances as well as a gripping legal battle have garnered love with the film shifting to theatres after being released on OTT. Recently Suryamohan Kulshreshta, who essays the role of Babaji, in this courtroom drama, opened up about the film and essaying a negative character in it.
Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai actor Suryamohan Kulshreshta aka Babaji believes in telling stories that ‘makes a person a better human being’
Suryamohan Kulshreshta revealed that he decided to opt for this role because he believed that it was important to bring to life such realistic stories. “Be it films, theatres, or any art, one of the main objectives is to entertain the audiences. In fact, I think entertainment is a light word. I feel providing an artistic happiness and creating sympathy from within of the audiences should be the objective of an artist. But I think moreover what is important for an artist is showcasing stories in a way that makes a person better as a human being, and the world also becomes better.”
He continued, “I believe that any film or artist that is introduced to the audience should make sure to not only entertain them but also make them vigilant and awaken sensitivity along with building an understanding of what is right and what is wrong. With that vision, this film ‘Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai’ is very important and films like these should be made more often so that it reaches a larger audience. Art is also a responsibility and not just a profession or business. So, along with entertaining the audience we should also try to guide the world in a better direction. We artists should be taking this responsibility for films to reach more and more people.”
Further talking about playing such a role and with the kind of negativity attached to it, Surya asserted that he is unfazed by all of it. He added, “An actor does not turn into the character he plays, in fact in theatres where old Sanskrit dramas are played, actors are presented like this only. Even if an actor is playing the role of a positive character doesn’t always mean he is also a good person in reality. Similarly, if someone is playing the role of a negative character doesn’t mean he is a negative person in real life; it doesn’t work like that.”
“An actor knows the entire objective of the film, even while playing the role of a negative character he knows what the positive objective is of the film. So, I do not think any actor gets influenced in reality by the role of a negative character. That’s why I don’t care about it at all, because even after playing a negative character an actor knows that he is promoting the positive vision of the film. Although I knew I would not have any individual difficulties, but a lot of people said that playing such a negative character I could face social controversies, but I do not care at all about it because I know my mind is clean and objective is pure. So, I was not worried about the social effect that it would have,” he concluded.
