Gautham Kurup makes Bollywood debut with 'Bhanwarey'
Chennai, July 5
Actor Gautham Kurup, known for
his work in southern films such as "Thuppakki", "Kandahar" and "Nerungi
Vaa Muthamidathe", is making his Bollywood debut in the upcoming dark
comedy "Bhanwarey".
"I'm trying my hands at comedy for the first
time in my career. I'm playing something quite contrary to what I've
done so far. We've already completed the first schedule and currently
shooting the second in Delhi," Gautham told IANS.
He said the film is an opportunity to showcase his acting ability.
Being
directed and produced by Shaurya Singh, the film mostly features
newcomers such as Karan Thakur, Jashan Singh Kohli, Priyanka Shukla,
Govind Pandey and Manoj Bakshi.
"I'm enjoying working with a team
of newcomers. I still have about 10 to 12 days of shooting left. The
film's shooting should be completed by July and if all goes as planned,
we are planning to release it in November," he said.
Asked about
the experience of working in the comedy genre, Gautham said: "Comedy is
all about perfect timing. If the timing goes wrong, the joke won't work.
As a baddie, you can even showcase over-the-top performance and people
won't mind, but as a comedian you have to be very subtle".
