Ronit Roy has been round in showbiz for a really very long time, and is aware of the ropes of the commerce. And that features roles being chopped. The actor, who was not too long ago seen within the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Bloody Daddy, shares his expertise, “There is much more left for me to do. In Bloody Daddy, I had a cutting edge role. Some films I am satisfied with, some I am not. You get short changed for whatever reasons. My scenes have been cut. If you cut an actor’s scene for length purposes or whatever, you are actually cutting important chunks in the script. It doesn’t feel good to an actor. You as a maker should deliver what you promised the actors. This sh*t happens in our industry.”
Roy, who has been part of movies comparable to Udaan, 2 States in integral roles, says the final time it (not being given what was promised) occurred was not too long ago, and there “some dissatisfaction” along with his position. “But let’s not point fingers at anybody. We don’t know what pressure people go through. We need to digest it and move on,” he maintains. But how does he cope with a scenario like this in that second? It is certain to rile up anybody. “I don’t have time to deal with idiots, so I walk away. When you are shooting, you understand what is happening, so I dissociate myself at that point too. Shoot ke time samajh aa jata hai that the lead actor is getting nervous or insecure, and suddenly aapki script change hoke aati hai, lines gaayab ho jaati hain aapki. Life is too short, I move on to better things,” maintains the 57-year-old.
Shehzaada was a movie which launched not too long ago, and his position as Kartik Aaryan’s character’s father was fairly small. Is he referring to that? “No, that was pretty much what we shot. It’s not that one is aiming to do a bigger role… of course, I want a big role in my films, but I am saying what you have been promised, that much should be there,” he ends.
