Anoop
Soni
has
been
in
this
industry
for
a
decade
now,
but
he
has
still
not
managed
to
leave
a
mark.
He
has
begun
his
career
with
films,
but
then
when
it
did
not
work
for
him,
he
too
moved
on
to
television.
Here
too,
he
has
not
be
too
successful,
but
has
managed
to
get
some
good
characters.
Currently
seen
in
a
Balaji
show,
Anoop
is
all
set
to
make
a
special
appearance
in
Smriti
Z.
Irani"s
'Virrudh".
Anoop
says
he
is
not
too
happy
with
what
he
has
done
till
now
and
aspires
for
more
meaningful
roles
in
good
films.
Here
is
the
excerpt
of
his
interview.
Tell
us
something
about
your
character
in
'Virrudh".
I
will
be
playing
a
special
investigation
officer
called
Vikram
Agarkar.
He
is
basically
an
upright,
honest
and
no-nonsense
kind
of
an
inspector
who
will
investigate
into
the
attack
on
Dhirendra
Raisinghania.
Is
it
a
cameo?
As
far
as
I
know,
it
is
a
special
appearance,
which
is
not
going
to
last
for
more
than
two
weeks.
You
played
a
surprising
negative
role
in
'Jeete
Hain
Jiske
Liiye".
Are
there
any
such
chances
again?
I
don"t
know.
This
aspect
was
thought
of,
but
nothing
has
been
decided
yet.
Maybe
if
the
character
gets
concrete
and
substantial,
I
might
just
carry
on
with
it.
What
made
you
accept
this
role?
I
am
already
doing
'Kahanii
Ghar
Ghar
Kii".
I
find
it
taxing
doing
two
dailies
at
a
time.
Doing
'Virrudh" will
also
give
me
the
time
to
concentrate
on
some
other
things.
Moreover,
it
is
a
good
show.
So
had
you
being
following
it?
No,
not
religiously,
but
I
keep
a
touch.
You
have
been
seen
doing
serious
kinds
of
roles,
any
particular
reason
for
it?
No,
I
do
not
think
it
is
so.
I
have
done
different
kinds
of
roles
in
'I
Love
You",
'Saaya" and
'Remix".
So,
I
think
that
from
my
side
I
have
a
variety,
but
I
guess
you
ask
the
producers
why
I"m
not
being
offered
different
kinds
of
roles.
You
know
it
happens.
As
an
actor
some
kind
of
roles
suit
you
better
than
the
others.
Are
you
choosy
with
your
roles?
Yes,
I"m
choosy,
but
you
know
serial
no
have
longer
life
now
a
days.
Thus,
I
like
to
do
good
strong
roles.
How
has
been
your
experience
in
the
industry
so
far?
It
has
been
fabulous
so
far.
I
have
enjoyed
a
lot.
Do
you
find
any
changes
in
the
industry
in
the
past
10
years
of
being
here?
Yes,
there
have
been
a
lot
of
changes.
In
the
film
industry,
only
the
working
style
has
changed,
while
television
has
gone
from
weekly
half-an-hour
shows
to
daily
episodes.
The
working
time
has
increased
by
five
times.
But
I
guess,
it
is
time
for
another
change
in
television.
What
kind
of
changes?
I
think
television
should
become
more
realistic.
Reality
shows
are
good
watching
and
as
far
as
I
know
television,
reality
shows
will
last
for
a
longer
time.
Are
you
happy
with
the
kind
of
roles
that
are
being
offered
to
you?
No,
I
am
not
absolutely
happy.
You
know
television
is
limited
and
in
this
limited
field
whatever
I
have
got
is
average.
But
for
films
I
feel
that
I
need
some
bigger
roles.
What
kind
of
roles
do
you
want
in
films?
I
would
love
to
do
films
like
'The
Namesake",
'Metro" and
'Rang
De
Basanti".
When
I
see
such
films,
I
feel
that
as
an
actor
I
have
a
lot
to
learn
and
a
lot
to
grow.
There
are
so
many
things
that
I
still
have
not
done.
What
is
happening
in
the
film
front?
I
have
just
finished
a
film
called
'Karkash".
Here
too,
I"m
there
in
a
serious…
not
exactly
serious
role,
but
I
play
a
crude
and
rude
character.
Suchitra
Pillai
is
opposite
me.
The
film
has
been
produced
and
directed
by
actor
Kamal
Sadanah.
The
film
is
my
first
lead
role
in
Bollywood
and
I"m
looking
forward
to
it.
It
is
complete
now
and
ready
for
release,
but
I
still
do
not
know
the
exact
date
for
its
release.
