Vihaan opens up on his journey from USA to Mumbai
After completing an acting course at New York University (USA), actor Vihaan Samat flew back to India to pursue a career as an actor. He marked his debut as a lead actor with the web show Eternally Confused And Eager For Love, which was released last month, after appearing in web series such as Mismatched and Bombay Begums.
But his first brush with onscreen acting happened in a Hollywood film, Worth (2020): “I was studying acting, specifically method acting and then film acting. Thereafter, I wanted to hone my skills and work a bit in the USA. My first role in a movie was with Michael Keaton (actor), in which I had one scene.”
Quiz him about what made him want to come back to India and he says, “India is home and you always want to work where your home is. I haven’t lived in a small village in Haryana or Jharkhand, but I want to play characters based in those places. Hollywood is great, but that’s for later.” So, does he have a bucket list of directors he wants to work with? “Apart from Farhan and Zoya (Akhtar) and Reema (Kagti), I want to work with Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Karan Johar, Rohit Shetty,” he ends.
