Intense roles make one vulnerable: Anupriya Goenka
Being part of a film like War was a Diwali gift,” gushes Anupriya Goenka, who is thrilled with the success of the film. “I really enjoyed shooting the film, especially as it was Aditya Chopra’s production house. It was a homecoming for me as I did Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), with them earlier. Working with Hrithik (Roshan), who gives 110% to his work and Tiger (Shroff), who is so dedicated, was fabulous. The collaboration was a beautiful experience. As I had never played an agent, in a stylised action film, it was a different for me. I tried to maintain a balance between being real and yet being in tune with the rest of the film,” says Anupriya.
She hopes that being
“part of good stories that work at the box office leads to better work”. So far, she has got a positive response from the industry and is waiting to see how it gets translated to better roles. “It is too soon to say (about projects). But with the role in War, people now feel that I can pull off versatile roles. The space was unlike my previous roles.”
After biggies such as War and Padmaavat (2018), Anupriya will now be seen in the upcoming web shows — Asura, co-starring Arshad Warsi, and a political thriller, directed by Prakash Jha. “When you work in big budget films, the vibe on set is different from an OTT show. I enjoy playing intense roles. They are challenging and one has to dig deeper into your personal space to exploit it. You are more vulnerable, too. But I wouldn’t turn away from romantic and comedy roles either. In fact, I want to play a village girl and try to speak different dialects.
