Vishal Bhardwaj has been all praises for the performance of debutant Chandan Roy Sanyal playing a pivotal role in Kaminey. However, contrary to popular belief the lad is not a discovery of Vishal; but Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra.Chandan goes down the memory lane and explains his association with Mehra.
“I played a small but pivotal role of a revolutionary named Batukeshwar Dutt in Rang-De-Basanti, but unfortunately the entire scene featured on me was removed while editing. To my surprise, knowing the potential in me Mr. Mehra again approached and considered me for a role in Delhi 6. Due to my short height I could again not make it this time, and the character was later played by Cyrus Sahukar,” explains Chandan. He goes on to add, “I have no regrets and complaints because it is on Mr. Mehra’s recommendation that I got a big and yet again a pivotal role of Mikhail to play in such a big film like Kaminey.”
Well, listening to all this, we can say “All’s well that ends well’.
