Rahul Bose, who has over thirty years of experience in the film industry, recently discussed his career and work. He also expressed the opinion that he does not “justify” the cost of a big-budget film so he would never be cast in the lead role.
During a recent interview with The Indian Express, Rahul shared that he deliberately chose to work on many parallel films over his career.He stated, “I don’t think that I’d ever be offered a lead role in big-budget films because I don’t justify that expense. I realised that I wanted to only play leads, so I would have to go for small-budget films. Those making big-budget films, they would cast the stars, why would they cast me? That’s been a big deciding factor; from 1993 till 2012-13, I only played lead roles. Of course, I did Vishwaroopam with Kamal Haasan where he was the hero and I was the villain.”
Rahul also talked about his role in Zoya Akhtar’s film ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’. He said, “Dil Dhadakne Do has a special place in my filmography, and I cherish that film. The story would not be the same if Priyanka [Chopra] didn’t have to deal with divorce.” Rahul portrayed the character of Manav- an egotistical and chauvinistic guy, who Priyanka eventually divorces. It stars Ranveer Singh, Anil Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Farhan Akhtar. In 2015, the movie did well at the box office and received positive reviews upon its release.
On the work front, Rahul was last seen in his recently-released OTT show ‘Berlin’. The spy thriller is set against the backdrop of the 1990s in New Delhi. ‘Berlin’, which was directed by Atul Sabharwal, stars Aparshakti Khurana, Ishwak Singh, Anupria Goenka, and Kabir Bedi in the pivotal roles.
