Hawa Badle Hassu Actor Chandan Roy: “My Hunger Is To Play A Good Character”

In the evolved world of entertainment, actor Chandan Roy Sanyal, who is gearing up for the sci-fi web series “Hawa Badle Hassu“, says he is only looking to be part of good stories, and striving to understand the “game of cinema“.

On the changing business of cinema, Chandan told IANS in an interview, “It’s true in the last few years a lot has changed in our entertainment business — whether it’s storytelling, different platforms, and appreciation from audience. Things are quite good now. But I am not changing anything within me to fit in.

“Nothing has changed within me as an actor. I am still the same who is looking forward to be part of a good story and trying to understand the game of cinema.”

The story of “Hawa Badle Hassu” addresses the problem of environment changes affecting human life and causing global warming.

This message of the story is one of the reasons why Chandan took up the project.

“Industrial development is great, but if basics, like clean drinking water and clean air, are getting affected and we are facing diseases, then what’s the point? Planting trees, conserving energy and finding a balance between industrialisation and natural harmony are very important,” he said.

The show, which streams on OTT platform SonyLiv, also features Smita Tambe, Vikram Kochar and Zachary Coffin.

Chandan has worked with filmmakers like Vishal Bhardwaj, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Imtiaz Ali and Nandita Das. He believes collaborating with a good director always helps in showcasing a performer’s talent.

“Filmmaking is a collaborative process. A good story always needs right collaboration of a good director and actors. It’s a symbiotic existence. At the same time, when both of us are on the same page, we can push each others’ skill sets to grow,” said the “Kaminey” famed actor.
