Kartikey Malviya: Ranveer Singh’s Padmaavat made me say yes to a negative character

Last seen in the show ‘Chandragupta Maurya’, 15 year old actor Kartikey Malviya will now be seen in the show ‘Radhakrishn’ in which he will be playing the character of Samba. It’s the first time that Kartikey will be seen in a negative character but he says that this is something he had always wanted to do. “In my last show ‘Chandragupta Maurya’ the actors who were in the negative roles fascinated me a lot.Moreover when I saw actor Ranveer Singh in the movie ‘Padmaavat’ the urge in me to play a negative character grew stronger. This would be a big challenge but I think it would be good for my profile too” shares Kartikey.
He feels that this is a character through which he will be able to enhance his skills more and bring a different version of himself to his fans. “Negative characters have a charm of their own. I think an actor gets a lot of acting space when portraying a character like this. I had limitations in my last show as I was expected to behave in a certain way but here I am a free bird it seems. I can talk however I like and even tease people” shares Kartikey.
Since he is still studying Kartikey keeps juggling between Bhopal and Mumbai to ensure that his education doesn’t suffer due to his shoots. “A few days ago too I was in Bhopal only to complete some work related to my studies. I ensure that my studies are not affected no matter how hectic my schedules are” shares Kartikey.
