From thanking Akshay Kumar for being his inspiration to his
debut, ‘Karle Pyaar Karle’, Shiv Darshan bares it all
Starting his career with the upcoming ‘Karle Pyaar Karle’,
the heir of the Darshan family – Shiv Darshan is all set for a strong foothold
in Bollywood industry. After all the preparations and hard work, the actor
reveals his expectations from the film.
Talking about his journey so far, he shares, “To be honest
with you, it has been a fabulous time so far. I have gone through gazillion
emotions, nervousness, excitement, facing rejections. I have been injured, more
all less everything has happened. It’s been like a complete ‘masala’ movie. All
I’m waiting for is the release of the film now.”
Getting to play a character that he can relate to, the actor
reveals what the film is all about as he reveals, “It’s an adrenaline gushing,
action pact, edgy romantic movie. I’m playing this young daredevil who is
rebellious and has a fetish for bets and taking up challenges. The girl in the
movie also has more or less the same streak in her and therefore it is a story
of two daredevils.”
And further added about his leading lady who is a beauty
pageant winner. “Hasleen is wonderful. As you may know she is Miss India Earth
2013. We had auditioned a number of girls for the part but the filmmakers
weren’t really happy. They saw pictures of Hasleen and they called her over.
She auditioned for the part and in the next five days we were working
together,” said Shiv and further revealed,
“Yes, I was a little skeptical about
the part as it is my favourite movie. She just had five days in hand to like
adjust with the character and me. So, that was a question mark for me as well.
However, we gelled pretty well and I was really comfortable working with her.”
When asked where this passion for being an actor came from,
he had a tale to tell and shared, “I always wanted to be a part of the industry
but I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to pursue acting. Then there was this one
instance that took place that made me sure about acting. My father was working
on this movie called ‘Talaash’.
The actor Akshay Kumar couldn’t come on the
sets for some medical issues and Bebo was supposed to go on an outdoor shoot
for two-three months and it was the last song sequence that was pending. My dad
then called and told me that I will have to step in for Akshay.” He further
revealed, “The next I know, my hair was being chopped and face was being
made-up. I kind of liked the pampering on the sets even though the shot was
something very simple. I had to just walk and the camera was really far away.
But I enjoyed the experience and decide to pursue acting.” Sharing his journey
henceforth, he shares, “I was in Jai Hind College then and I went to Kishore
Namit acting studio. Further I joined Mr. Anupam Kher and finished my course
there. Still I felt incomplete and wasn’t prepared. So, I decided to go to New
York and I studied acting and dance at the New York Film Academy.
After that
when I came back, I felt confident and we began scripting.”
Being from an affluent family of filmmakers doesn’t make the
job any easy and he shares, “It is an advantage when it comes to getting a
break but then the next thing is I have to live up to their expectations and
have that ability to carry on that name for a prolonged career.” Summing up his
expectations from the movie, he says, “The response has been really good. I’m
feeling good that people are appreciating my efforts and am looking forward to
it.”
Staring Shiv Darshan and Hasleen Kaur, the journey of two
daredevils titled ‘Karle Pyaar Karle’ is slated for its release on January 10,
2014.
