Bobby Vatsa happens to be an extremely talented actor who has really proved his mettle both on the small screen as well as big screen since the last 2 decades. But the turning point in his career was his association with director Y P Singh and his film Kya Yehi Sach Hai? which was released half a decade ago. And this particular Y P Singh’s film Kya Yehi Sach Hai? has got 2 million hits on YouTube within a period of just 3 months. That apart Bobby Vatsa’s performance in Kya Yehi Sach Hai? has really earned hIm a lot of critical appreciation from celebrity albeit hardcore critics.
Bobby, both Y P Singh & you really deserve a huge round of applause for the greatest response that your film Kya Yehi Sach Hai?, directed by Y P Singh, is garnering tremendous response on YouTube Channel, that too after its runaway theatrical success half a decade ago.
Thanks Shaheen I am glad that Kya Yahi Sach Hai has got such a tremendous response, Can you beat it? 2 million hits on YouTube Channel that too just within 3 months, and as you already mentioned it Kya Yehi Sach Hai? had also proved to be a runaway success in its theatrical round half a decade ago. Not only this Shahrukh Khan had also highly appreciated the film on social media platforms when it was released then.
Indeed Kya Yehi Sach Hai? has proved to be a milestone film of your illustrious career spanning almost 2 decades. What say?
Yes you are right! Indeed Kya Yehi Sach Hai? had really proved to be a milestone film of my career and a very special film of my filmic journey till this date. More especially because Kya Yehi Sach Hai? happens to be the most authentic & hard hitting film about the police department. In fact it had also proved to be a benchmark film on the corruption aspect of the politics, the police & the Government department’s honest & dishonest chaotic state. Which was shown beautifully in the film. Based on the real life account of Y P Singh and his times in the police department and his will to fight the corrupt system at that time. The history seems to repeat itself that after 5 years of release the antagonist shown (based on politician Chhagan Bhujbal) is now arrested on the charges of corruption and how corruption became the major disease which still remains incurable. Of course the film had made a lot of affect at that time. Besides Kya Yehi Sach Hai? was highly appreciated then. But now even after a lapse of 5 years, its release on Youtube Channel has created a great response and has got nearly 2 million hits that too in just 3 months. So I would say that Kya Yehi Sach Hai? is a film that represents and still makes people aware about the demonic impact of the corrupt system rampant everywhere.
Kya Yehi Sach Hai? is based on a novel “Carnage By Angels” written by Y P Singh himself who has also directed the film. Apart from myself Shalini, Raju Mavani et al have also enacted key roles in Kya Yehi Sach Hai?.
Ok now time to tell us which are your forthcoming films?
I have just completed 2 films titled The Last Rave & Delhi 47 Kms. The Last Rave is based on real life incident centering around a rave party which was held in Pune. In this film I have enacted the role of a detective who is honest. He is appointed to end corruption in the department. Flora Saini is opposite me. In Delhi 47 Kms I have enacted the role of a Don and Sanya Singh is opposite me.
It seems that you are also really active in events now.
Yes! I am doing a lot of social events. Recently I did 2 Eye Gazing events. In this 2 unknown persons have to sit & stare in each other’s eyes. The message is don’t judge anybody without knowing the real person. It is very relaxing. After this one would not hesitate to connect with anybody. It is a human connection movement. Eye Gazing started in Australia and now it is being organized globally in India and I am organizing it. It is a good platform to connect with people.
And you have also made a short film. Right?
Right again! I have made a short film titled The Cure based on the theme of blood phobia and it has bee made under my own company named Creative Karma. It is an 18 minute short film in English with international actors acting in it. The film was also appreciated globally & ended up bagging 5 varied international awards in US.
Do you think your filmic journey till this date has been satisfactory? And what do you think on reflecting back on this 2 decades of journey?
I would say that indeed my filmic journey till this date has been very interesting, riveting & fruitful. As I have ended up doing films, plays, TV shows, events, social awareness campaigns et al. I had started my career with Shyam Benegal’s Tv show titled Discovery Of India. Not only this I have also ended up working with the best of directors in the best of films. But I think that I am still a kid and would love to remain like a kid forever.
What change have you noticed in all these years?
Down the years I have noticed that the whole industry has changed. The digital change that has come in the last few years is the future & the largest medium to reach the audiences. Now we can’t deny it.
So what have stored up your histrionics sleeves? And as a parting shot also tell us more about your dream of playing 15 varied roles?
Yeah! I am really keen to enact 15 varied roles in a single film. The Late Sanjeev Kumar happens to be my favorite actor who had enacted 9 roles. Then Kamal Hassan Sir had enacted 10 roles in Dashavataram. I am really looking forward to break these records. Of course I am in search of a good script for one of my forthcoming films in order to fulfill my long cherished dream.
