Darshan Jariwala on his chequered career
|
He won many hearts as Gandhi in Gandhi – My Father. However, this larger than life role is “shadowing” all his current endeavours. But Darshan Jariwala, whose first passion is theatre, isn’t actually complai
ning. His portrayal of Gaekwad, a shrewd politician in Rajkumar Santoshi’s Halla Bol, which released on Friday, makes the actor happy. The reason – the substance of the role.
“I chose to work in Halla Bol as it attempts to restore our faith in democracy. As far as the length of the role is concerned, I feel the opportunity to share screen space with a great actor like Pankaj Kapur is in itself an honour,” says Darshan.
He is eagerly waiting for a yet-untitled film with Amitabh Bachchan. “It’s every actor’s dream to share screen space with him. So, even if I speak a line standing opposite him, my dream would be realised,” says Darshan.
Darshan recently “re-discovered” his childhood passion too – writing and reading poetry. He often sits down to write and has recently performed an “epic poetry reading” on Gujarati stage.
