Omkar Kapoor may have started his acting career as a child artist with movies like’Judwaa’,”Hero No 1′ and’Judaai’, however, the majority of us have understood and fawned over him just once meeting him Tarun Thakur at’Pyaar Ka Punchnama two’. The movie struck a chord with an audience and the critics were compliments for Omkar also but he chose to make things slow following the movie. He’s made a comeback using MX Player’s continuing series that the Vikram Bhatt-directed’Bisaat’. In an exclusive dialogue with ETimes, the celebrity opens about the popularity and fame that came his way after his very first movie’s success, the way he’d landed it, and also the way things are shaping up to him today.
What’s the biggest takeaway in the movie journey up to now?
I am yet to have a substantial takeaway. But I’ve learned the value of consistency. To tell the truth,’Bisaat’ marks the start of my next innings after rising up. Together with’Pyaar Ka Punchanama two’ it’d begun. There is a great deal more to research before I’m completely happy, and divide my picture of the-boy-next-door. This series is a terrific leap for me and can help me alter that’adorable boy’ picture. Life has given me another chance, and I’m here in order to take advantage of it.
For most, you are nevertheless the’Punchnama’ man. How was the very first taste of celebrity like?
Frankly, celebrity is something which I’ve been familiar with since my youth (laughs). Yes, it’d go into my mind, but I have learned not to let this influence me today. I do not take such ideas badly as it up you. In my experience, an individual has to learn how to take their job seriously, but not , as one could be trapped indefinitely. Yes, celebrity does feel great, the love in the crowd, and them enjoying your job feels great, but it is okay not to allow that grow inside you.
Which are the type of challenges do you face today?
In all honesty, I am yet to discover my foothold. I have this basic quality of religion instilled within me. I hope more chances come my way, so I would like to research them. But I am a small choosy and moody concerning choosing a script. Therefore, it will take me a great deal of time to compose my thoughts and dedicate myself into a job. When I click using a script I have a tendency to take this up, and it is really tricky to discover such scripts now.
You’re among the very first ones to join the webspace…
Yesand I am glad I took this leap of faith. I moved on to perform an OTT movie as it had been a submerged medium for many back then. Together with the outbreak, as well as the horrible situation of theatre halls, folks have understood the significance of the medium. As a performer, I believe there is a whole lot of creative liberty. Naturally, there is a large competition also, to remain relevant, now that each celebrity is dabbling in that medium.
Are you pleased with the way things are forming for you today?
Now that I’m back to the monitor, it is likely to become a forward and upward travel. I’m a lot optimistic today. I have begun shooting something else too. I am happier.
Which are the forthcoming projects you’re working on?
There are a number of releases planned. A great deal of exciting things in route. I will have the ability to discuss this, in my second interview (smiles).
