EXCLUSIVE! Chandan Roy Sanyal On Success With Aasharm, Ray & Sanak: Its All Coming Together
Chandan Roy Sanyal was recently seen playing an out-and-out villain in Vidyut Jammwal-starrer Sanak: Hope Under Siege.
Chandan Roy Sanyal was recently seen playing an out-and-out villain in Vidyut Jammwal-starrer Sanak: Hope Under Siege. The film premiered on Disney+Hotstar on Friday, October 15, 2021. The actor recently opened up about the filming process and what's next for him in a conversation with Filmibeat.
Chandan is also known for playing another villain in Bobby Deol's web series Aashram. While talking to Filmibeat, Chanda revealed that while he enjoys playing negative roles, he does not approach them as villains. "I don't treat them as villains so I don't have to play them in a certain way like shouting and screaming. I approach it differently which is why it also becomes interesting for the audience. Otherwise, villains are all bad guys, they all make the same kind of faces," he said.
Talking about his success with recent releases he added that he is grateful for success with back to back projects like Aasharm, Ray and Sanak. "Right now I am focusing on the new season of Aashram since it is one of the biggest parts of my career and will continue to look for something new," he added.
Here is an excerpt from the interview,
This
is
not
the
first
time
you
are
playing
a
bad
guy,
so
what
sets
your
character
from
Sanak
apart?
What
do
you
like
most
about
playing
bad
guys?
Some
of
my
best
characters
have
been
bad
guys,
they
have
also
got
a
lot
of
attention
from
female
fans
as
well,
which
isn't
bad.
It
is
one
of
the
traits
I
worked
on
for
my
character
in
Sanak.
I
have
also
tried
to
add
other
traits
to
him
like
he
is
funny
as
well
as
has
a
strong
goal
in
mind.
In
Ashram,
Bhupendra
is
just
a
bad
guy,
he
thinks
from
that
mindset,
here
Captain
Saju
Solanki
is
different.
There
is
a
lot
of
heavy
action,
so
I
have
tried
to
mix
it
all
together
and
present
a
three-dimensional
character.
I don't look at these roles as negative, but just characters. I don't treat them as villains so I don't have to play them in a certain way like shouting and screaming. I approach it differently which is why it also becomes interesting for the audience. Otherwise, villains are all bad guys, they all make the same kind of faces.
What
kind
of
prep
did
you
go
through
when
going
head
to
head
with
an
action
hero
like
Vidyut
Jamwal?
What
was
it
like
shooting
for
heavy
action
sequences
with
Vidyut?
Yeah,
we
had
many
scenes
of
hand
to
hand
combat
and
fights
sequences
with
guns
as
well.
It
wasn't
easy,
we
had
to
do
a
lot
of
preparation
but
ya
it
was
a
fun
experience.
Vidyut
is
so
good
with
what
he
does,
and
I
also
had
to
work
hard
to
be
able
to
do
those
scenes
with
him.
For
a
film
to
work,
a
hero
and
a
villain,
both
have
to
work
hard.
I
took
it
upon
myself
and
trained
for
months
with
an
action
director
and
his
team
who
had
come
from
America.
There
were
a
lot
of
mock
fights,
I
also
got
hurt
a
couple
of
times
but
it
worked
out
well
in
the
end.
You
have
already
begun
shooting
for
season
3
of
Aashram?
The
show
has
garnered
you
a
lot
of
love
from
fans
for
your
ruthless
and
mysterious
character,
how
are
you
feeling
about
returning
as
Bhupendra
Singh?
We
started
shooting
for
Aashram,
I
just
finished
one
schedule
for
it.
Aashram
is
one
of
my
biggest
roles
and
I
am
excited
to
explore
more
shades
of
Bhupendra
in
the
new
season.
The
pandemic
has
been
heavy
on
everyone
in
one
way
or
another.
How
have
you
been
dealing
with
the
lockdown,
especially
since
your
biggest
shows
were
released
during
the
pandemic?
It
hasn't
changed
a
lot
of
things,
but
it
was
very
depressing
otherwise.
Everyone
was
going
through
a
difficult
time,
we
were
stuck
inside
and
everyone
was
fearful.
There
was
a
lot
of
gloom
all
around,
but
luckily
I
had
an
amazing
year.
When
the
world
was
going
down
and
I
was
almost
going
down
with
it,
OTT
rose
up.
It
brought
in
new
excitement,
when
Aashram:
Chapter
1
came
out
and
got
a
lot
of
attention
we
had
realised
the
power
of
the
medium.
It
made
me
ten
times
more
noticeable,
and
with
that
success,
I
realised
that
I
needed
that
kind
of
role
to
feel
alive
again.
I
had
been
working
on
different
kinds
of
roles,
but
I
knew
something
was
missing.
I
have
never
won
an
award
or
got
a
lot
of
recognition
for
my
work
so
I
was
feeling
a
bit
down,
but
then
in
2020,
I
realised
that
it
is
all
coming
together.
What
is
the
one
thing
you
are
looking
forward
to
since
things
are
now
going
back
to
normal?
I
think
it
is
amazing
that
things
are
going
back
to
normal.
I
am
looking
forward
to
how
things
were
in
2019.
I
had
travelled
to
New
York
for
a
month
and
after
that
haven't
stepped
out.
I
love
travelling
and
to
take
that
time
out
for
myself,
I
started
it
as
an
annual
tradition
in
2006.
2020
was
the
one
year
I
couldn't
go
out,
so
hopefully,
in
2021
I
get
to
go
somewhere.
What
are
your
plans
for
future
projects?
Will
you
be
announcing
more
films
or
shows
in
the
coming
months?
I
am
reading
a
lot
of
scripts.
Like
I
said
luckily
Sanak,
Ray
and
Aashram,
worked
for
me
back
to
back
and
I
am
really
grateful
for
the
stuff
that
is
coming
my
way.
Right
now
I
am
focusing
on
the
new
season
of
Aashram
since
it
is
one
of
the
biggest
parts
of
my
career
and
will
continue
to
look
for
something
new.
