New Delhi, Sept 11: Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur says he would love to take up a comedic role next as he hasn’t done something in the lighter space in a while.
The actor, known for TV series “Karamchand”, “Office Office” as well as films “Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro”, “Ek Doctor Ki Maut”, and “Maqbool”, said he often receives scripts that are rather “crude”. “I haven’t done comedy in a while, I’d love to do it because I did a lot of it in the beginning years of my career. Lately somehow, I think there’s a perception about me being a very serious actor. Also, the scripts are not being written. “Whatever comes my way is rather crude so I don’t take it up. Humour is a medium that I’d like to explore. It makes me happy to make people happy. But that doesn’t stop me from doing the kind of role that might be offered. Something which is fresh, new and substantial,” Kapur told PTI. The 70-year-old said while acting is his “first love”, he is also interested in direction and writing. Kapur made his feature directorial debut in 2011 with “Mausam”, headlined by son Shahid Kapoor. In 1998, he directed the TV show “Mohandas B.A.L.L.B.” in which he played the titular detective. As a writer, he released his debut novella “Dopehri” in 2019. (PTI)
