Juggling a career across multiple film industries probably isn’t as challenging as people would assume. Irra Mor would know.
Born and raised in Agra, the actress comes from a non-filmi background and credits her theatre experience for her grooming as an actor.
After making her presence felt in Telugu and Kannada films, Irra recently made her foray into Hindi with Director Neeraj Pathak’s thriller Web series Inspector Avinash headlined by Randeep Hooda.
I ask Irra what she has learnt from her journey in the movie business, she says, “Initially, whatever comes our way, we take it, because we think at least we have got something. I think out of 10, if say five or six criteria are matching, just go for it. Don’t wait for the big offers or the main lead parts. Be hopeful, but also practical. And slowly make your way.”
How did you land Inspector Avinash?
I think they loved my audition.
But I really feel auditions restrict the actor’s performance because nobody is directing you, especially when you’re doing self-auditions.
I did two self-auditions (for the show) and one live audition.
If you are auditioning yourself, you perform according to your own understanding which might not match with the direction team. So auditions can be very tricky.
But yes, auditions help as a good practice for acting.
How did you break the ice with Randeep Hooda?
He’s a very bossy kind of person. He never sits silently on sets. (Smiles)
He would see us and say things like, ‘What are you doing?’ or ‘Why are you wearing this?’
My character is not glamorous. In fact, almost all the girls have a de-glam avatar in it.
