Words matter. These are the best Jisshu Sengupta Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
I am the only guy in Tollywood who can carry off floral pants and look good.
It’s the upbringing at home. You can have education abroad, the best of things, but you can be a horrible human being.
I just focus on my character and how pivotal it is to the narrative. I don’t mind even a 10-minute role, if it’s important to the script.
I had learnt horse riding while shooting for a Bengali film earlier and was trained in sword fighting on the set of ‘Manikarnika’.
I am 100-films old. In my heyday, I have done a lot of commercial films, including dancing around the trees with the heroine. But after working with Rituparno Ghosh, my understanding of cinema changed. Whatever good I am doing, it is because of him. If I am being called a good actor, it is only because of him.
As an actor I can’t think of what my daughter will think when she grows up. I will never do certain kinds of roles that I have in my mind. And for that I’m sure my daughters are going to be proud of me.
Both my daughters scold me. I am the youngest in my family.
I do more of ensemble casting, roles that are different. In one film I’m playing a villain, in the other I’m playing a son.
I have a problem with the star tag itself. I believe I am an actor.
The top Bengali directors in Bollywood know about me and the work that I have done. I have worked with everyone, from Anurag Basu, Pradeep Sarkar to Shoojit Sircar.
I am an actor and I do not have to relate to whatever I play on screen them at a personal level. What is important is to understand the character, do enough homework to know the frame of mind of the character or his back story.
I am looking at characters that will stay with people, that they will remember. Characters that are relevant.
I was simultaneously shooting for ‘Manikarnika’ and ‘Ek Je Chhilo Raja’. In two-and-a-half months, I took 23 flights, including an international flight to Los Angeles. It was physically very challenging, shooting for both. I would catch up on sleep on the flights.
Besides, I never think negative. That is my biggest strength. Even if someone thinks bad about me I wish good for that person. I am not saying I am a super human being but I have always wanted good for people and look where I am today!
In Bombay people know me as a Rituparno Ghosh actor but Calcutta gives me the comfort zone and that’s why I love shooting here. In Bombay, the money is bigger, the stakes are bigger.
