Actor
Mohit Abrol, who is seen as Hasti in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's (Swastik
Productions) Porus, says that his role is very special to him. The actor adds
that his role has many variations which is what makes it so interesting. “The
speciality about my role in Porus as Hasti is that I have a lot of layers, it’s
a multi-faceted character. Working with Swastik has always been a pleasure.
It’s homecoming for me as I have done Raziya Sultan before. Siddharth sir is an
inspiration and I believe in his vision. That’s what prompted me to take this
role,” he says.
He
adds, “I really admire both Sidharath and Rahul sir. They make you really
comfortable as an actor and take care of everything, as we are not shooting in
Mumbai. They are more like family.”
Ask
him how he prepares for the role, and he says, “There have been a lot of
preparations, starting from the physical aspect of the character, for which I
had to become muscular and lean, to training in martial arts, swimming, horse
riding, sword fighting. As far as the mental aspect is concerned, I had to
completely change my thought process and body language as it’s a period drama. It
takes me around one and a half hours to get ready in my complete look.”
Much
has been said about the grandness of the sets of Porus and Mohit agrees.
“Working on such a grand set gives a lot of freedom to perform as you have more
space. When you are on the set, it feels like you have gone in that era which
makes my job much easier as a performer. I have been bonding really well with
all the actors. It’s a really good team. I bond best with Hrishikesh Pandey,”
he says.
Meanwhile,
Mohit, who has been part of films as well as TV shows, says that he has always
tried to choose diverse projects. “I started with a short film ‘Going Home’
which was directed by Vikas Behl starring Alia Bhat. After that, I did a lot of
shows on TV starting with Balika Vadhu, MTV Fanah, Raziya Sultan, Meri Aashiqui
Tumse Hi, to name a few. The industry has been really kind to me, I have always
gotten to play a lot of different characters. So far my journey has been
amazing,” he says.
As
someone who has worked in both TV shows and films, Mohit says that both
industry work differently. “I think the difference between the films and
television is the canvas. Films have a huge canvas as compared to television.
As an actor, your performance is enhanced in films but somewhere in television,
it’s limited because television is a medium of close shots. But television has
a far wider range than films,” he says.
As
far as the TV industry is concerned, it has progressed, says Mohit. “I have
been working in the industry for three years. Changes have been good in terms
of content. There are so many good shows on television. For example, our show
is really huge and has terrific content. Production value is constantly on an
increase. Shows are getting bigger and bigger,” he says.
The
actor urges his fans to follow the show. “There are a lot of reasons to watch
but the top two would be the visuals and performances. It’s going to take
television to a different level, kudos to Siddharth sir!” he says.
