I have been approached for a show, says Barun Sobti

TV as a stepping stone

You have no idea the kind of money, TV actors make —sometimes it is more than the regular film artistes. So, it’s not necessarily a stepping stone. But yes, you are seeing a lot of TV actors foraying into films because the barrier between films and TV has broken.

TV drama or filmi masala

I would say a little of both. On TV, as an actor you relate to the character and the set because you are living it everyday and the viewer starts identifying with you and the drama. However, I end up getting less time for my family. Film shooting takes a longer time and I am left with more free time, which is welcome. Also, the audience gets more influenced by films as they watch it in a theatre with loud music and action. 

Role play

I am playing a wannabe model and I relate to the character in Main Aur Mr Riight because I came to Mumbai to become an actor.  I play a big Salman Khan fan, I dress up and try to talk like him. It’s a serious subject but dealt with in a lighter vein.

Expectations

I am actually zoned out. I have no expectations, I am not the kind of person who pins high hopes. Instead, I go with the thought that the film is going to do nothing for me. When we started the film, it was a surprise, when we saw the rushes I thought it’s looking good and when the first look was out, I was cool. 

Return to TV?

I have been approached for a show, which has a beautiful concept. It is a weekly and I am considering it.

Sourav Ganguly was back on 22 yards!

Team 22 Yards had a special guest at their Navami morning shoot. Sourav Ganguly. Dada dropped by at the Barisha Players Corner pandal in his para for a quick meet-and-greet with the film’s cast and crew, which includes television heart-throb Barun Sobti. “I am a cricket fanatic and I am his fan. He was very sweet and accommodating and made sure everybody was comfortable,” Barun told t2. So, what did they talk about? “It was pretty loud for a conversation. We had to literally sit on each other’s shoulders (picture above right),” smiled Barun. Pictures: Kanai Sahoo.

Barun with a dhunuchi at the pandal. “It was great… the music, the people, big idols… the dhunuchi was pretty hot, but it was smelling really nice,” he smiled.

22 Yards director Mitali Ghoshal (left) was “sceptical” whether she’d be able to pull off a Durga Puja shoot. “It was challenging. I am thankful to both Dada and the Kalighat Milan Samiti (located in Mamata Banerjee’s neighbourhood, where they shot an evening sequence) puja organisers for helping us a lot. Ron (Barun’s character in the film) is not in the best of moods — the sequences we shot capture him in the pandals, trying to relive his childhood Puja days,” said Mitali. 22 Yards, in which Barun plays a sports agent, is produced by MS Productions.

When Barun Sobti met Sourav Ganguly

Barun Sobti was in Kolkata on the auspicious days of Ashtami and Navami during Durga Puja to shoot for his next Bolly flick, Mitali Ghoshal's 22 Yards.

In a particular shot in Barisha Players' Corner pandal, a puja presided over by cricketer Sourav Ganguly in his para, Barun's character of cricket agent Ron Sen was upposed to shoot for a Puja sequence. "It's like a homecoming of Ron, who is generally engrossed in work. It's a moment of soul searching for him as he comes back to his roots. He was reminiscing about his childhood," said Barun, dressed in a yellow kurta with baggy blue pants and red chappals, complimented by a full blown beard.

Dada, as Sourav is fondly called in Kolkata, met Barun for the first time during Sandhi Puja and made sure he was comfortable. "This is the first time I am seeing Durga Puja for real. It is overwhelming," he said. In a break between the shoot, he also donned a dhoti kurta and posed as the ideal Bangali Babu for The Times of India.

The crew later shifted to Mamata Banerjee's para Puja — Kalighat Milan Samiti — where they shot a montage sequence, with Barun donning a black kurta for the role. "It was a very good experience shooting in the two pandals. A lot of fans of Barun were waiting to catch a glimpse of him, but they were very well-behaved. We were welcomed warm heartedly. Though we shot between spells of rain, the organizers were very cooperative," said director Mitali Ghoshal, who is in Mumbai at present to record a song with Salim-Sulaiman. She added that they went pandal hopping to Ballygunge Cultural and nearby places, before heading for a long drive and coffee, so Barun could soak in the flavour of Puja in Kolkata.

The next schedule of the film will be shot in the last week of October and early November in Kolkata. "It will be a long schedule. Hopefully some of the songs will be shot in that schedule," said producer Partho Rudra.

Well, Barun will also be seen playing an instrument traditionally played during Durga Puja. To know what's that, keep following this space.
