Adil Hussain, who juggles between Indian art house and mainstream cinema, along with international productions is now back to his first love theatre, concentrating more on the traditional art form.
Currently working on a two-actor play, written and directed by
Dilip Shankar that explores the essence of Gita, the National School of Drama (NSD) and
London Drama School
alumnus will be seen as both
Krishna and Arjuna.
“I have always wanted to do this. Dilip and I have been working on it through video calling these days and it was his idea to use me in both the roles. But it’s not only challenging, also will offer several dimensions to the whole experience,” shared the versatile actor when speaking to us.
For the National Award-winning actor, there is no such ‘balancing’ act, be it independent or mainstream, because he believes acting is way truer than life, and it remains unchanged, whatever be the budget: “When portraying a role, though it might not last for long, but at that moment, the experience has to be true in every way. And that’s true for both ‘2.0’ and ‘Mukti Bhawan’. When I return home, I sincerely play the role of a husband and a father. The key here is utmost honesty, everything else is irrelevant.”
Adil who has floored the Bengali movie buffs with his stellar act in films like ‘Maati’ and ‘Ahare Mon’ to name a few will next be seen in
Prakash Jha’s ‘
Pareeksha
’ and ‘India Sweets and Spices’.
