Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra,
through
his
Rang
De
Basanti
opened
our
eyes
and
made
us
sit
up
and
notice
this
actor
who
had
been
in
the
business
for
some
time
but
could
never
really
make
it
big.
The
actor
seemed
to
be
equally
at
ease
with
the
comic
and
serious
scenes
in
the
film
and
has
not
had
to
look
back
since
then.
If
you
are
still
wondering
about
whom
we
are
talking
about,
meet
Sharman
Joshi
whose
career
graph
has
been
northbound
since
RDB.
He
has
recently
been
in
news
for
his
new
film
Sorry
Bhai.
In
an
exclusive
interview
he
talks
about
his
experience
of
working
in
the
film
and
future
plans.
Says
Sharman,
while
describing
his
role
in
the
film,
"I
am
playing
the
role
of
a
young
scientist
who
is
very
happy
and
content
in
life.
The
twist
in
his
life
happens
when
he
goes
to
the
engagement
ceremony
of
his
elder
brother
and
falls
in
love
with
his
fiancee!
It
is
not
one
of
the
best
situations
to
be
in,
but
since
it
is
in
a
film,
I
guess
that
is
ok!" Directed
by
Onir,
this
is
expected
to
be
one
of
the
coolest
romantic
comedies
of
the
year.
Sharman
is
very
happy
with
the
movie
and
the
way
his
character
has
shaped
up.
"One
very
interesting
aspect
about
Onir's
movies
is
the
feeling
you
get
after
watching
the
casting
you
feel
it
couldn't
have
been
better
as
if
the
script
had
been
written
with
the
actor
in
mind.
Though
he
never
discussed
this
with
me,
I
feel
his
thought
process
while
selecting
me
was
no
different."
The
film
is
also
Chitrangda
Singh's
comeback
vehicle.
Sharman
is
extremely
satisfied
working
with
her.
"Though
this
is
her
third
film,
if
you
look
at
the
professional
manner
in
which
she
carries
herself
and
acts,
you
will
think
she
is
an
industry
veteran.
I
had
a
very
good
experience
working
with
her."
Sanjay
Suri,
interestingly
is
a
co-producer
of
Sorry
Bhai,
besides
being
one
of
the
actors.
"He
has
played
both
the
roles
very
well.
And
if
you
have
an
actor
as
a
producer,
it
helps
in
many
ways
because
the
producer
understands
your
issues
much
better."
Sharman
has
been
a
Gujarati
play
veteran
having
done
plays
for
more
than
eight
years.
It
still
is
his
passion.
"It's
a
pity
that
I
cannot
make
time
for
the
plays
any
more.
It
has
helped
me
a
lot
while
acting
in
different
roles.
My
hands
are
full
now,
but
I
am
still
working
on
the
script
of
a
play.
I
get
a
different
kind
of
satisfaction
while
working
in
plays,"
explains
Sharman.
He
handsome
hero
is
understandably
not
very
pleased
at
missing
Golmaal
Returns,
despite
his
great
performance
in
Golmaal.
"I
could
not
do
the
sequel
of
Golmaal
because
of
a
clash
in
dates.
I
just
could
not
manage
to
find
the
time.
But,
believe
me,
I
was
very
sad
at
missing
the
project
because
the
first
part
was
so
great.
But
I
looked
at
it
from
a
different
perspective
–
perhaps
something
better
is
waiting
for
me!"
He
is
also
quite
sad
at
his
recent
release
Hello
not
doing
well.
"It
was
a
good
film
and
all
of
us
worked
very
hard
for
it.
Somehow
it
failed
to
establish
a
connection
with
the
audience.
Though
it
did
not
do
quite
well
in
the
box
office,
I
feel
it
did
provide
a
fillip
in
my
career,"
explains
the
actor.
However,
it
is
not
that
everything
has
gone
wrong
for
Sharman
in
the
recent
past.
His
commercial
for
Perk
where
he
is
deserted
in
an
island
along
with
a
pretty
lady
has
become
very
popular.
"It
was
a
really
well-made
ad.
The
concept,
the
handling,
the
creative
–
everything
was
perfect.
Though
I
am
not
running
after
ad
films,
but
if
I
get
something
that
is
as
good
as
this
one
then
why
not?"
explains
Sharman
who
underwent
a
makeup
overhaul
for
the
Perk
ad.
Currently
he
is
busy
working
for
his
next
two
releases—Toh
Baat
Pakki
(along
with
Tabbu,
Yuvika
Chowdhury
and
Vatsal
Sheth)
and
Allah
Ke
Bande
(starring
Naseeruddin
Shah,
Zakir
Hussain
and
Anjana
Sukhani).
