Audience appreciation my biggest award: Vineet Kumar
Hindustan TimesMasaan and Maharani actor Vineet Kumar calls the love and hatred that he garners from the audience his biggest award. My first reaction to any offer is no and then I see how much hunger as a performer I have me in to take up that role.” Besides Bindiya, he has also shot for Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Six Suspects based on Vikas Swarup’s novel and will be next shoot for season two of Maharani. For example, in pandemic, when we all were sitting home the first offer that came to me was for the film 14 Phere and I immediately said yes because ghar pe baaith kar pakk gaye thhe and then the director itne achhe hai ke I couldn’t refuse,” he says. For Kumar enjoying playing what character he has been offered tops his wish list, “Honestly for me satisfaction is that jab main kaam kar raha hoon to anand main hoon ki nahi — writing, direction, production, co-actors, camera man and my stay matters. That’s the reason I refused to play antagonist in Rowdy Rathore as I can’t repeat what I have already done in its original movie Vikramarkudu.” Till date Kumar has done 40-odd films in South, over 100 Hindi films and lot of TV show.
