The actor says having spent a few years as an actor and assistant director, he has met a lot of people who pretended to have connections in the film industry, including those who take advantage of actors promising work in return. “Some people directly ask you for sexual favours, and say, ‘You pay me this much and I will get you this’. Someone would say, main aapko X, Y, Z se milaunga or woh aapke liye film likh rahe hain. And later, you learn that the person doesn’t even know the director and woh industry ka hissa hi nahin hain. They just try to make a quick buck,” he shares. After the pandemic, the first film that brought Puri back from his sabbatical was filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri’s Nautanki.

Late actor Amrish Puri’s grandson Vardhan Puri was shooting for a high-octane, electrifying scene for National award-winning filmmaker Shantanu Anant Tambe’s upcoming film Dashmi when he fell off his bike on rough terrain and suffered injuries. Going against the doctor’s advice, Vardhan continued to shoot the action sequences without a stunt double. “I knew it was important to wrap up the shoot that day. I didn’t want the producer or the studio to suffer [because of a delay caused by my injury],” says the actor, who only realised that he had fractured elbow and a crack in his shin when he went for an MRI check-up on his return to Mumbai from Lucknow. Valuing others’ time and being a thorough professional was a trait Vardhan claims to have imbibed from his grandfather. “I have seen my grandfather work till his last day. He inspires me, and that is where I get it from. Amitabh …
