One may remember Darsheel Safary as the wide-eyed, dyslexic Ishaan Awasthi from the hit film ‘Taare Zameen Par’. Today, it has been a decade-and-a-half since the film was released. While the Aamir Khan-starrer film will remain ingrained in the minds of people for times to come, actor Darsheel Safary, now a 25-year-old, is looking to explore different avenues of acting. He is currently seen in the film, ‘Capital A Small a’, which is also being touted as his `comeback` film. Ask him what he thinks about the term comeback, Darsheel told mid-day.com, “I don`t know what is this comeback situation. I am just very excited about the film. If I get into details about the comeback and all, I won`t be able to focus. I am not thinking much about this. Although, the audience is free to think whatever they want. If they want to think this is my 89th film also, I am okay. My only goal is to entertain the audience. ‘Capital A Small a’ is a nostalgia trip as well and it is a comfortable watch.”
`Capital A Small a’ is currently streaming on Amazon Mini TV for free. The film directed by Sumit Suresh Kumar and co-written by Gaurav Joshi sees Revathi Pillai of TVF’s Kota Factory fame opposite Darsheel. Talking about preparing for the role, Darsheel shared, “We were thinking of how to make me look like a school student. So along with the physical changes which include a clean-shaven look, putting on a school uniform, and doing the hair, we wondered what else can be done to make it look genuine. And we worked on those things.”
“On set, I would do some improvisation and they (creators) were very kind to allow me to do that. It was all a learning experience because I tend to keep myself flexible. I cannot stick to one note-- this is the character, this has to be done and this is the limit. I keep it flexible because so many things end up happening in the process, and so many nice additions happen. That’s what went into the preparation. Also, I fell sick while shooting the film. That did bother me for a while, thinking that if not for that I might have been able to give a better performance,” he added.
