Chit-chat with Chunky Pandey
There was a time when all an actor was interested in playing was either a leading man or a main villain. With newer ideas being shared in the kind of films that are being made today, it is no less exciting for many to be playing an interesting 'character'.
Chunky Pandey is one of them who has discovered this fact and the result is films like D, Apna Sapna Money Money and I See You, each of which has seen him gaining appreciation for his work. And now he promises to carry on this good work with the soon-to-be-released Fool N Final.
Fool
N
Final
-
an
exciting
title
for
a
film.
So
what
is
this
about?
It
is
about
this
diamond
that
has
just
been
robbed
by
me.
This
diamond
is
bigger
than
even
'Kohinoor'
and
I
play
this
man
called
Rocky
who
has
a
fetish
for
guns
and
gambling.
The
entire
story
revolves
around
this
diamond
but
there
are
many
mad
bunch
of
characters
that
make
Fool
N
Final
and
enthralling
ride.
That's
anyways
the
least
you
can
expect
when
a
film
has
actors
like
Paresh
Rawal
and
Johnny
Lever
(laughs)!
But
how
about
you?
Besides
the
fact
that
I
am
the
culprit
behind
stealing
of
this
diamond,
I
also
have
a
certain
mannerism
and
the
way
I
look
that
adds
on
to
the
spice.
I
talk
with
a
lisp,
something
on
the
lines
of
Pooja
Bhatt
(smiles),
while
my
hair
is
all
gelled
with
golden
teeth
to
add
that
give
me
a
particular
look.
My
character
is
required
to
move
in
and
out
of
the
narrative
though
I
am
there
throughout.
You
have
been
around
for
around
for
two
decades
now
while
Shahid,
your
co-star
in
FNF
is
quite
young.
Does
that
make
you
remember
the
times
when
you
had
just
started
off?
Yes,
it
does
remind
me
of
those
days
and
also
makes
me
realize
that
once
our
film
was
a
success,
we
used
to
be
working
in
like
10
films
a
year.
We
were
slogging
ourselves
while
believing
all
of
it
to
be
fun.
But
look
at
someone
like
Shahid
or
any
other
talented
newcomer.
These
boys
are
so
mature
about
what
they
want.
Mature
in
what
sense?
They
are
much
surer
about
the
commercial
aspects
of
a
film.
They
have
grown
up
fast
and
are
much
better
planned.
They
are
selective
about
their
work
and
pick
up
limited
but
good
projects.
After
Apna
Sapna
Money
Money
and
Fool
N
Final,
are
comedies
the
kind
of
films
with
which
you
plan
to
associate
yourself
most
with?
Neither
I
am
averse
to
such
films
nor
am
I
restricting
myself
to
be
playing
only
such
roles.
There
have
been
lots
of
offers
for
comedy
films
but
it
is
on
me
to
decide
where
and
how
do
I
see
myself
fitting
in.
In
fact,
I
am
not
even
shying
away
from
approaching
big
film
makers
myself
with
whom
I
wish
to
be
working
in
near
future.
Like?
Like
Abbas-Mustan.
I
like
the
kind
of
cinema
they
make.
Priyadarshan
is
another
film
maker
I
look
forward
to
working
with.
With
David
Dhawan
I
am
in
talks
and
we
could
be
working
together
again
soon.
There
is
something
on
the
cards
with
Anubhav
Sinha
too
and
right
now
the
things
are
in
negotiation
stage.
So
you
can
see
that
I
am
looking
forward
to
some
rocking
times
ahead.
Meanwhile
there
is
always
a
'Rocky'
[my
film
show
on
TV]
to
keep
me
busy
[laughs]!
