Kunal Kapoor  planned for doing supporting roles

 Actor Kunal Kapoor has been part of big banner movies like ‘Rang De Basanti’, ‘Aaja Nachle’, ‘Don 2’ and others but in supporting roles and the actor insists there is no game plan in doing so.

He played a role of a college student in Aamir Khan starrer ‘Rang De Basanti’, the film directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra was a huge hit. Then came three films with Aditya Chopra’s home production Yash Raj Films – ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’ with Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukherjee and Jaya Bachchan, he played Konkan Sen Sharma’s love interest, ‘Aaja Nachle’ which was Madhuri Dixit’s comeback film both the films turned out to be box office failure. But the third film with the same banner – ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba was a hit, where he played the role of Minissha’s husband. Then it was Sanjay Dutt starrer ‘Lamha’ which did not do quite well at the box office and Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Don 2’, computer hacker which was a huge hit.

“The criteria for doing a film is that whether the script and the people that I am working with are interesting it or not. And whatever films I have done till now I have had the opportunity to work with interesting people in good films,” Kunal told in an interview.

“The roles that I have done so far are distinctively different from each other, that was more important for me. It was not that I had planned for doing supporting roles in big films and then move on to big roles,” he said.

Presently, the actor is looking is forward to the release of his upcoming film ‘Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana’, which happens to be a food film.

“I think every film is a risk. It is very interesting and exciting time that we are living in as audience is accepting all kinds of films. Also small films are doing well today. I don’t think there is any better time to take risk then now. If you are not taking risk then you end up doing boring work,” he said.

The film a romantic-comedy is a story about a Punjabi family, the Khuranas, who run a dhaba and take pride in their food, especially the family recipe Chicken Khurana.

“It is not a typical comedy. Humor is associated with loud and over the top, it is not like that. Like in 70s and 80s Hrishkesh Mukherjee used to make films where humor used to come from situations and characters and the story, this is our attempt to doing that again,” Kunal said.

Kunal plays the role of a Punjabi boy. He stars alongside Huma Qureshi of ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ fame in the movie, which will hit the theatres on November 2.
