your character in Pratap Is an encounter specialist. Did you take inspiration from real-life executives like Daya Nayak and Sachin Vaze?

I know their stories. I have met Daya Bhai many times and he is a real life hero. I also know many encounter specialists from Uttar Pradesh. The character is not based on any one officer in particular, but it is definitely inspired by these remarkable people, their sacrifices and their lives.

I wanted to understand the character’s habits, relationships and the little things that reveal the person behind the uniform. The most interesting aspect of the film is how a person’s choices follow him throughout his life. We often call it karma.

Our choices do not affect us alone; Their consequences can reach our homes and affect our families. There was a lot to understand about his psychology and internal struggles. When an actor gets a character with so much depth, subtext and internal conflict, it becomes an exciting opportunity.

Kai po che! What do you remember most about working in, especially with Sushant Singh Rajput?

We were really like brothers; We were not pretending to be brothers on screen. We were completely engrossed in each other and shared a very sacred bond. We ate together, partied together and worked together. It felt like a family.

Sushant used to joke with Rajkumar and me, “I am Kai, you are Po and Raj is Che!” I will always cherish his passion and joyful spirit.

However, due to Sushant’s demise and the way we lost him, Kai Po Che! Now I don’t feel happy. Earlier, whenever someone would mention the film, I would smile and remember those days. It was a great film and a great start to our career, but my feelings about it have changed since he passed away.

Do you sometimes feel that the industry has not fully realized your potential?

If I think like this, I will become the most pessimistic and negative person in the world. I am very happy and blessed to be where I am today. I have nothing but gratitude towards the industry and everyone who stood by me.

Do actors have a responsibility to speak on social issues? What is your opinion on Dia Mirza’s Diwali video controversy?

Responsibility is a personal choice. There are people in various fields, including sports and film industry, who contribute significantly to the society without making any big splash.
