However, being roped in as the antagonist in Anurag Kashyap's Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Bombay Velvet is undoubtedly Karan's biggest acting assignment yet, and the filmmaker is leaving no stone unturned to give it his best shot.
Before he leaves for Sri Lanka tomorrow, TOI catches up with him to understand his thoughts about the new assignment. "This will be my first trip to Sri Lanka. I will be shooting with Ranbir, and I bet we'll take a day to settle down, as we'll end up having a few laughs over the fact that I, who generally makes films, is now facing the camera in a pivotal role," he says.
Contrary to speculation, "It's not a cameo but a proper, full-length role," Karan clarifies. Over the past two months, he has been hitting the gym with a vengeance. While he has lost nearly 7kg, it has gone largely unnoticed, we tell him. "I hired a physical trainer to get into shape, and I'm almost there," he says jubilantly. Karan has been going over the script and stays in constant touch with Anurag as preparation for his role. He also underwent a look test for the part. "I am going to look different," he says, adding, "Let's not forget that Bombay Velvet is a period film."
Significantly, the head honcho of Dharma Productions has decided not to interfere in the filmmaking process. "I will not give any inputs. I am going to be there only as an actor. Bombay Velvet is totally Anurag's baby," he says. Is there scope for physical combat between the hero and the antagonist? "No. I think Anurag has done his role sketches and casting pretty intelligently," he laughs.
Rumour has it he is charging just Rs 11 for the film. "How can I charge for this? This is not my regular job. Anurag is a friend. I am doing this for experience," he says. How did he land the role? "I thought Anurag was simply narrating his next film's story. I was quite surprised when he suggested I enact the grey character in the script." Karan will be in Sri Lanka for 10-11 days for the first schedule of Bombay Velvet but will fly down to Mumbai for a day or two before returning there. Ending the conversation on a lighter note, he says, "I hope Anurag does not regret casting me..."
