Having
played
prominent
roles
in
films
like
Kai
Po
Che,
Wazir
and
Jolly
LLB
2,
actor
Manav
Kaul
says
the
in-your-face
honesty
of
the
film
industry
is
why
he
loves
being
a
part
of
it.
The
40-year-old
actor
believes
the
no-holds-barred
nature
of
people
in
Bollywood
encourages
an
artiste
to
improve
his/her
performance.
Manav
told
PTI,
"I
love
this
industry
because
they
are
very
brutal.''
''If
you
are
good
(at
your
job),
they
will
receive
you
with
both
hands.
If
not,
they
will
tell
you,
as
it
is.
But
they
are
brutal
not
work
wise.
If
you
go
to
award
functions
and
are
a
nobody,
no
one
is
going
to
click
pictures
with
you.
It
is
good
as
they
don't
keep
you
under
an
illusion."
The
actor,
who
appears
in
the
lead
opposite
Vidya
Balan
in
Tumhari
Sulu,
says
he
is
content
with
his
career
in
the
industry
so
far.
"I
am
happy
doing
good
work.
Whatever
money
I
am
getting,
I
am
happy
with
it.
I
know
what
I
am
getting
is
what
I
am
worth.
I
am
building
myself
as
an
actor.
Hopefully,
things
wull
only
get
better
from
here," he
says.
Manav
says
he
despises
the
term
character
actors
and
rejects
the
idea
of
being
a
"hero".
"To
play
a
hero,
it
feels
very
stupid.
What
is
hero?
I
have
no
idea.
I
feel
every
person
in
a
film
is
a
character.
If
you
consider
and
think
a
hero
is
someone
who
has
his
own
story
in
the
film
then
in
that
case
in
Kai
Po
Che
and
Wazir
even
I
was
performing
based
on
my
story."
With
Tumhari
Sulu,
the
actor
says
he
has
tried
to
veer
off
serious
and
dark
roles
and
was
anxious
about
it.
"I
was
only
getting
offers
for
roles
of
a
villain
and
I
said
no
as
I
wanted
to
change
my
perception
as
an
actor.
I
waited
for
one-and-a-half
years
for
something
different
to
come
my
way
till
Tumhari
Sulu
happened.''
''I
think
the
makers
saw
some
stupidity
in
me.
I
am
in
the
lead
and
I
have
more
scenes
in
the
film.
I
was
a
little
unsure
about
the
dance
thing.
I
was
anxious
as
I
was
doing
it
for
the
first
time,"
he
says.
The
comedy-drama
is
set
to
release
on
November
17.
