Abhimanyu Singh Journalist Saurabh Dwivedi has weighed in after Kartavyan’s acting debut. In a recent interview, the actor said that while all professions deserve respect, acting is a completely different profession that cannot be mastered overnight.Abhimanyu, who is being praised for his work in several languages in South Indian cinema, also explained why he feels his talent is recognized outside his home first, drawing parallels with the late actor. Irrfan Khan.
‘Ghar ki murgi daal barabar’
Why Hindi cinema didn’t give his talent the journey it deserved Although filmmakers from the South appreciated it, Abhimanyu said people often look far for opportunities, ignoring the talent nearby.“Kai baar hum chances aur kisi bahut behtareen cheez ki talaash mein door dekh rahe hote hain, jabki woh cheez yahin hoti hai. Bas out of focus hoti hai. Ghar ki murgi daal barabar wali baat hai,” he told Hindi Rush.
‘Irrfan bhai ko bhi pehle recognition nahi mila tha’
Recalling Irrfan Khan’s journey, Abhimanyu added that Bollywood started appreciating the actor differently after Hollywood recognized him.“Irrfan bhai mere bade bhai jaise the. Jab tak Hollywood ne unko recognition nahi diya, Bollywood ez unko us nazar se nahi dekha. Jab logon ne dekha ki ‘arre yeh actor Hollywood pahunch gaya’, tab unko main lead milne lage,” he shared.The actor further reflected on why Southern filmmakers have embraced it more easily than the Hindi film industry. “Ho sakta hai main kisi group ka hissa nahi hoon. Ho sakta hai main utna social nahi hoon. Ya shayad main apna PR theek se nahi kar raha,” he said.
‘Instagram followers se film hit nahi hoti’
Abhimanyu spoke about his growing obsession with social media fame in his casting decisions. According to him, the number of followers does not guarantee success at the box office.“Ek casting wale ne mujhe bola ki main hero, heroine aur main villain ko chhod kar baaki actors followers ke basis pe cast kar raha hoon,” he recalled.The actor said that he later expressed that despite throwing social media stars, films still flop. “Social media alag game hai. Phone pe kisi ko scroll karte hue dekhna aur paise kharch karke theater mein dekhna bahut bada difference hai,” he explained.
Abhimanyu Singh trolling Saurabh Dwivedi
Responding to the criticism surrounding Saurabh Dwivedi’s acting debut Kartavyan, Abhimanyu said that every profession requires a unique skill set.“Aap ek field mein bahut acche ho, iska matlab yeh nahi ki doosri field mein bhi utne hi acche ho jaoge. Woh bahut acche journalist hain. Lekin actor alag cheez hai,” he said.Using a metaphor to make his point, he added, “Ho sakta hai aap bichchu ka zeher utaarna jaante ho, lekin iska matlab yeh nahi ki aap saanp ke bill mein haath daal do.”At the same time, the actor has clarified that he has no problem with influencers or social media personalities joining the films. “Har kisi ka ghar chal raha hai, woh bhi ek field hai. Jo log isko encash kar pa rahe hain, I am happy for them,” he declared.
‘Isi liye main kam interviews deta hoon’
Known for his outspoken opinions, Abhimanyu admitted that he often avoids interviews as he tends to speak his mind without a filter.“Main hold back nahi karta. Jo dil mein hota hai, mooh pe aa jaata hai. Isi liye main kam interviews deta hoon. Pata nahi meri kaunsi baat kisiko buri lag jaaye,” he said.The actress also revealed that despite years of struggles, she has consciously tried not to be bitter. Sharing an anecdote about working with Vikram, he said the Tamil superstar’s basic character inspired him deeply.“Success ke saath bhi wahi insaan rehna chahiye. Ab tak maine khud ko bitterness se bachake rakha hai,” concluded Abhimanyu.
