Vineet Kumar Singh, known for his powerful and nuanced performances, is all set to appear in Reema Kagti’s much-awaited film Superboys of Malegaon. Having earned praise for his standout roles in recent multi-starrer projects, the versatile actor is now transforming into Farogh, a struggling writer navigating the eccentric world of Malegaon’s grassroots filmmaking scene. But unlike other characters he portrayed on celluloid in the past, this one hit home for Singh.
His own experience with a writer’s struggles lends an extra layer of authenticity to Vineet Kumar Singh’s portrayal of Farogh in Superboys of Malegaon. For the unversed, before establishing himself as a talented actor, Singh dabbled with writing. The journey gave him firsthand insights into the challenges of creative expression. This personal connection allowed him to infuse depth and realism into his portrayal. Understanding the delicate balance between passion and frustration, the relentless pursuit of bringing one’s vision to life, and the vulnerability of putting one’s work out into the world.
Speaking about stepping into Farogh’s shoes, Vineet Kumar Singh said, “I had written Mukkabaaz along with my sister, and I still try to write whenever time permits. So, I was able to bring a lot of my personal experiences to Farogh. Additionally, having worked as an assistant director, I had insight into visualizing a film within a film. The real challenge, though, was stepping into a world of characters in their 20s, a generation I clearly don’t belong to. I am 7-8 years older than all of them, so it was tough to justify the friendship and camaraderie on-screen without making the age gap jarringly obvious.”
