Big or small, when Naseeruddin Shah is on screen, he is bound to steal the show. While the audience is thrilled to see him essay varied characters, the veteran actor prefers to be seen less. Ask him why, and he jokes, “I want to create curiosity about myself.” However, he explains that it was only at the age of 50 that he began getting interesting roles. Now 73, Shah, who was recently seen in Taj: Divided by Blood and Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo, is all set to appear in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Charlie Chopra.
“I do whatever I feel like doing. I cannot put a finger on what [roles] excite me. For Vishal, I thought I could try something I hadn’t tried before,” says the actor, who plays a doctor in Charlie Chopra. “Vishal is amazing; he goes on from one project to another without taking a breather. From Charlie Chopra to Khufiya [Bhardwaj’s next], he has already moved on to his next,” shares Shah.
