6 Oct
Summary
- Divyenndu feels audiences own his character Munna Bhaiya.
- He prefers artistic mystique over constant visibility.
- The actor values audience connection over box-office numbers.
Actor Divyenndu, widely recognized for his portrayal of Munna Bhaiya, shared that he feels the audience holds more ownership of his characters than he does. This deep connection stems from years navigating an evolving industry, which began with his formative experiences at Pune's Film and Television Institute of India (FTII).
Divyenndu admits he doesn't feel he fully understands the industry even after 15 years. He credits his early success partly to luck but also to a selective approach to roles. He has observed significant positive changes in the industry over time, noting increased organization and opportunities for outsiders.
The actor expressed discomfort with the excessive emphasis on box-office numbers, stating that filmmaking should not be solely reduced to financial figures. He believes audiences should freely choose what to watch based on their engagement with trailers, without feeling obligated.
Divyenndu also voiced his preference for maintaining an artistic mystique rather than seeking constant visibility. He worries that excessive public persona projection can lead actors to lose touch with their authentic selves and negatively impact their work.
