Actor producer director Akashdeep is overwhelmed
with the response to BREATHE, the Amazon web series for which he collaborated
with Vikram Malhotra and Abundantia. “A journey that goes back more than two
years”, he says. And worth every bit of it. He is also super thrilled at the
massive promotion by Amazon. Akashdeep will also collaborate on MEN WHO KILLED
GANDHI, DANGEROUS MINDS and ofcourse BREATHE season 2
with Abundantia and Vikram Malhotra. “Vikram’s passion is unmatchable. There is
no one better than him. His contribution in curating from an idea to a finished
product is unmatchable.” Besides these shows, he is also in advanced talks with
two other platforms for other long format shows. When asked what other exciting
stuff is he doing, he smiled and mentioned that he is getting some exciting
offers as an actor!. “I’ve just done an ad campaign for a very very very big
world brand. The ad film hits the stands around February. Wait and watch. We
can’t reveal anything as yet. It was great fun working with an international
crew”.
I’m regularly getting TV and film offers and I’m
amused at this sudden interest in everyone looking at me when they want to cast
a fat rich 50 year old punjabi!!!
Akashdeep is also back at doing what he has done
all over the world for over a decade in the 90s,
Events.
He curated the Sonu Nigam act in the just
concluded Reliance founders day event and is doing some more mega events in 2018.
When asked what brings him on all NEWS platforms
so regularly these days, debating on various headlines, he says “I’ve been
India’s top debator in my college days and I guess that germ still exists
somewhere.
When my favourite news anchor Arnab Goswami asked
me to join him on a debate post the Sikh issue with Santa Banta, I jumped with
excitement. I guess I must have done a good job of it because soon I started
getting calls from every news channel on various issues.And I am enjoying every
bit of it.
Does that leave any time for directing a film post
Santa Banta, we asked him.
“See making a movie has become very tough these
days. Most of us ended up making the middle kind of cinema as I call it.
Neither a film with an A lister, neither an outta box experimental film. Hence
I call them middle kinda films.
That time and stage is incidently over now. It’s
gotcha be a Big film, or an out of the box kinda film. Like Newton, Lipstick
under my burka, Anarkali Of Aara kinds.
I’ve worked out what I want to do next and
hopefully will do it in the later part of this year, time Permitting. And yes,
that too hopefully with Vikram whom I trust blindly. I allready have enough on
my plate for 2018”, says Akashdeep.
