Divyenndu is the perfect definition of an actor with multi-dimensional layers that seem to be unwinding one movie at a time.
From his first role as Liquid to his latest badass role as Munna in Mirzapur, Divyenndu has made an impact that could only qualify as a massive breakthrough in the film industry. In a refreshingly honest conversation with Smriti Raizada, Divyenndu shares his future projects and his journey through the years!
ex: Divyenndu is a significant name in the industry now. Tell us about a moment when you knew that life was going to change for good.
PKP helped me a lot in terms of recognition. I got awards, accolades and everything a newcomer could ask for. I was really happy with the response my character got and I felt like I touched an emotional chord with a lot of audiences. I was really just overwhelmed with the whole thing, which I guess I needed as it was quite a tricky character for a newcomer. I’m happy that people still talk about that performance and it brings a smile on their faces whenever they meet me.
ex: Was acting a childhood passion or is it something you discovered along the way?
Acting came very naturally to me. I think it was always a default setting on my system. I never had to think about it. It became more and more serious as I grew.
ex: How has life turned around for you after Pyaar Ka Punchnama? Can you draw parallels to Liquid’s character in real life?
I can’t really draw any parallels with Liquid. He was a really emotional guy and very vocal about his feelings which I think I am not. There’s a certain innocence in the character which I seem to have lost after working for 6-7 years in the industry. I believe awareness takes away your innocence! But would really want to regain it sometime.
ex: Was it difficult to break the perception of a comic actor while preparing and shooting for Munna in Mirzapur?
