From his first film Aks to his latest MOM, ABHIMANYU SINGH is the man who has given spine-chilling performances in every character he has portrayed in Tollywood and Bollywood. His venomous red-eyed stare on the big-screen has the power to give the audience goose bumps in ‘reel life’. And now this baddie of B-town is on the hunt for more. As intimidating as his personality might seem, this man is indeed a true gentleman in real life. So now what’s next? Let’s spill the beans …
You have worked in several Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi films. How has your experience been playing different characters in varied genres?
It has been a wonderful experience on the whole because working in different languages gives you the opportunity to be more skilful. By that I mean not knowing the language perfectly but still delivering the content, upgrades your skills. I believe this has been a strengthening process for me, it has given my acting skills a lot of strength altogether.
You have undoubtedly made your mark in Bollywood, was it an easy route or were there hurdles that came your way?
It hasn’t been an easy ride for me. Being someone who has come from Patna, having done my schooling from a small town. My turning point was at the time when I went to Stephens College which is supposed to be one of the best colleges in India. So when I was there, I met a lot of the ‘cream’ crowd. And my exposure to life, education, and to the world came in the foray. And then from there on, I started dreaming of becoming an actor. After doing my graduation when I came to Mumbai, thankfully I stuck to one theatre group called Ansh with Makarand Deshpande who taught me acting. I got the opportunity to play a lot of lead roles and a variety of characters in his plays. From there, I gradually got into television, and then films. And now I am here, and I still feel I have a long way to go.
Did you aspire to become an actor since childhood?
I was in my 20s when I actually started dreaming of becoming an actor
You have given a phenomenal performance in your latest film MOM, how did it come your way?
