[NASHEMAN NEWS] If you were one of the three Khan superstars in Bollywood, then 2018 was definitely not your year. While Shah Rukh Khan has delivered what looks like a box office debacle in “Zero”, quite recently his Khan fellow-superstar Aamir Khan too came up with one of the biggest duds of his career, “The Thugs Of Hindostan”.

Earlier during the year, Salman Khan’s “Race 3” underperformed abysmally at the box office.

Is the Khan triumvirate losing its touch?

Says trade analyst Amod Mehra: “The writing is very clear on the wall. It is time all three Khan superstars switched to more mature roles. Or else they would no longer be superstars.”

However, film and trade analyst Girish Johar doesn’t see the setbacks of 2018 as detrimental to the Khans’ careers. “The three Khans are SUPERSTARS, a film here or there doesn’t matter. Their fan following does not decrease nor does their stardom get affected. Yes, all three failing together in one year does raise eyebrows but I am sure they are bound to bounce back with their next outings. Also yes, they have to be much much more careful as audiences are growing, their taste patterns are changing faster…so what they bring to the table has to be extraordinary as anything below neither suits their stature nor is it any longer expected from them.”

What next for the Khans?

While Salman Khan has the eagerly-awaited Eid release “Bharat” which spans the lifestory of one man from India’s independence in 1947 to present day, Aamir Khan is taking a sabbatical from the big screen to do a web series based on the Mahabharat. Shah Rukh Khan is not committed to any new project.

All three Khan superstars need to sit and do some serious career thinking and revamping. Their fan-following remains intact. Only their selection of roles needs to change.

Warns critic Raja Sen: “Their films may have underperformed this time, but each of the three Khans is just one hit away from being on top of the heap again. Any obituaries or celebrations by gleeful rivals would be premature.”

Time to have a Telephonic interaction with the charming actress!

*Tell us about your pre-filmic background in a nutshell?

*I hail from a small town Navapara Rajim in Nagpur district. Basically I am a very happy go lucky girl, normally boys are like that, but I become extremely serious & a very hard working girl once I am saddled with work.

*So you became extra serious when you got a chance of acting?

*No I didn’t get a chance or an offer to act just like that. I had to literally struggle it out. Even pass through the gruelling process of auditions where I was rejected most of the time in spite of the fact that I had done an intensive course of acting from Nagpur before landing up in Bollywood.

*So what was the resultant effect?

*With a slow & steady process I am finally reaching my destination of fulfilling my childhood dream of becoming a well-known actress of Bollywood.

*Was it really tough to achieve your goal?

*Yeah! You can say that first & foremost it took me almost 3 years to understand the real Bollywood & its real people & be extremely comfortable with most of them. The real point of frustration was that even after passing through flying colours in a few auditions I had landed up with miniscule cameo roles in half a dozen small screen serials & when I finally landed up a full-fledged role in TV Biwi Aur Mai its transmission was stopped just within 2 months & even pulled off the channel for lack of proper TRP ratings. Can you believe that?

*And then what happened?

*Thankfully destiny changed the course of my luck as I got an offer for enacting the lead heroine in Ajay sir’s upcoming movie titled SUSPENSE!!!!! And I was very determined to achieve my childhood dream & not quit half way.  

*So what is Ajay sir’s movie SUSPENSE all about?

*You see sir! When the film’s title itself is SUSPENSE then of course the movie itself will be full of suspense. Aur woh suspense khol ne ke liye sabko movie hall mein toh jana hi padega na!!!!! Moreover the movie SUSPENSE is full of thrill, chill & pill of the entire gamut of commercial ingredients intact. So guys & Gals get ready, the movie SUSPENSE ka suspense finally open hoga very soon.

*So what is your character in your upcoming movie SUSPENSE?

*Actually speaking I am playing the role of Ananya, the wife of the lead actor Vikram & together they face the many ups & Downs, the highs & lows & the good & bad phase of their life.

*How was it working with your big ticket director namely Ajay Yadav?

*It was just a fantastic experience working with Ajay sir & also a superb experience of working with my costars Antara & Vikram. Not to forget the entire team of thre movie SUSPENSE.  

*Who are your favourite Bollywood directors with whom you would like to work in future?

*The very first ever name that comes to my mind is Sanjay Leela Bhansali, He makes such superb historical movies. Then I would also like to work with prolific directors like Raj Kumar Hirani & Anurag Basu.

*Who are your favourite Bollywood actors & actresses?

*My most favourite actress who has highly inspired me is none other than Deepika Padukone who always does such awe inspiring roles with all her own favourite directors. And then amongst the actors Ranvir Singh & Ranbir Kapoor are my most favourite actors and yes it is my wish that if given a chance I would definitely like to work with both of them. That too time & again!

*One last question! What do you think of the #metoo movement which had gained momentum in Hollywood & has now even reached the Bollywoodian shores.

*What can I say about it! Whatever I say will be like ‘Chota munh badi baat’. But of course I would like to point out that even I have met many such people but I know very well how to handle them. Period!!!!!

Vikram Mastal Sharma’s Journey From Small Arena ‘Alif Laila’ To Celluloid Silver Screen ‘Suspense’

Vikram Mastal Sharma who is now a handsome hunk & a good looking dude, had begun his Bollywood journey as a child actor in the year 2005 with small screen serials like Alif Laila, Aankhen & Prithviraj Chauhan. As a teenager he had dabbled with small screen serials like Ramayan enacting the role of Hanuman & subsequently in small screen serials like Koi Toh Ho Apna in negative role, Razia Sultan, Sankatmochan Mahabali. Currently he is in the news for his act in 21 Sarfarosh: Saragrahi 1897 which is now being streamed on the Netflix Digital platform as a Web Series for which he is garnering a lot of critical acclaim. And now Vikram Sharma is all set to make his debut on the Bollywoodian Horizon with Ajay Yadav’s upcoming movie Suspense as a main leading hero.           

*Right at the outset give us a little insight into your pre-filmic background?

*Nothing much to reveal on that score. I hail from a small town of Saklanpur 70 kms away from Bhopal, and before I could realise anything I found myself in filmy studio’s donning grease paint & facing arc lights as a child artist. TV Serial karte karte kab bada ho gaya pata hi nahin chala but I did achieve my academic qualification.

*You are earning a lot of acclaim of late. How come?

*I have done 1 more, small screen project for the Channel Discovery Jeet titled 21 Sarfaforsh: Saragrahi 1897 in which I had enacted the role of Balvinder Singh an army man which became immensely popular & now since it is streaming continuously on the Netflix digital platform I am once again garnering a lot of critical acclaim as well as fan popularity.

*Fine! So how the transition from the small screen arena to the celluloid silver screen happen & why did take it take so long?

*As I had recounted earlier I had made my debut as a child actor & I had never even dreamt about it. Maybe I was destined to be an actor so the opportunity just kept knocking on my luck’s door. So here I am. Yes now that I had grown up I did want to make my silver screen debut. So I kept on circulating my biodata & pics & once again opportunity knocked on my door & Ajay sir saw my pics & I got a call from him and after a few preliminaries I was signed on board as a main leading man for his suspense oriented film Titled SUSPENSE.

*Right! So what is ‘Suspense’ movie all about?               

*Well! Suspense is all about a suspense that the movie goers have to go to the cinema halls & discover for themselves. But I can assure one & all that Suspense has all the shades in lieu with all the commercial trappings. I am enacting the character whose name is Vikram & he has mission to fulfil in his journey, he comes across emotions, laughter, romance, revenge, action & of course a murder mystery.

*How was Ajay Yadav as a director?

*Ajay sir was one cool guy on the sets he gave me a lot of freedom to portray the role in my way. He accepted some of my suggestions & even rejected some of them explaining that it was all for the betterment of the film. In fact he was very practical in every sense of the term.

*What kind of actor do you consider yourself?

*I think I am a very spontaneous actor & not at all mechanical.

*How was it working with your co-star Madhumita Biswas?

*There is one more co-star in Suspense. Antara & I think both were very good & will go very far in the long run.    

*What do you think of the #metoo movement which had gained momentum in Hollywood & has now even reached the Bollywoodian shores.

*I think one finds these so called #metoo movement in each & every professional arena. One should know how to deal with this in one’s own way. And as you rightly said sir that main bach gaya because I had started my career as a child star.

*Which Bollywood director is in your wish list?

*To name just 2 I would say Neeraj Pandey & Anurag Basu. They always make realistic cinema.

*As a parting shot tell us what is your ultimate goal?

*Right now & even since I started I was always focussed on my work, But yes my ultimate aim is to bag a National award one day aur woh toh main lekar hi jaoonga. Period!!!!!
