Vivaan Parashar reveals why he chose to follow the struggles of an outsider

During the interview, Vivaan Parashar was asked about his journey in Bollywood so far and why he chose to follow the struggles of an outsider. The actor responded by saying, “My dad, always told me that you have to go about it your own way and you have to do things your own way because my dad is somebody who does not believe in picking up a call and asking people and taking favours and even I don’t want to do that."

"Today if I think about it ideally at the age of 22 and 23 my dad would have normally made a lot of calls, then I would have been out there or he would have launched me himself for example and got some financial distributors on board and then put me in as a lead but my dad never believed in doing that and I also never believed in doing that because I don’t like it. I don’t like the fact that my dad needs to do that or go out of his way to make calls,” he added.

The actor further went on to say, “If I am good enough, somebody will spot me and somebody will give me that opportunity. No matter how much time it takes. From the age of 12 till the age of 25, I have no problems in saying that I waited that long and getting that one big break. Because I felt I was prepared from my end. Again I am not saying that I am ready but I was prepared to go through it.”

He further added that “The journey has to be your own. It is very difficult, it is tough when you go that way but eventually now that I look back I would not have it any other way actually”

As the story indicates it is about the rise of a gang and how they become gangsters in Mumbai and what happens after that. At that time it was Bombay and then it became Mumbai. So that is what the story is about. I am playing one of the gangsters from that era.”
