We can’t probably do somersaults, but can deliver good performances: Sumeet Vyas

Ribbon actor Sumeet Vyas feels, people in the film industry have finally realised that there are actors who ‘can’t probably do somersaults or martial arts, but can deliver good performances’.

Web series Tripling and Permanent Roommates have helped him to get noticed in the film industry, says actor Sumeet Vyas. Thanks to them, he bagged films with A-list Bollywood actors. In the upcoming film Veere Di Wedding, he is paired with actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, and in the recently released film Ribbon, actor Kalki Koechlin is his co-star.

“There’s a lot to thank the two web series for. I have definitely benefitted a lot from them. People in the industry have started recognising me. Earlier they wouldn’t cast me as a protagonist, or in an important role, but things have changed for better,” says Vyas, before adding, “People have realised that there are actors, like us, who can’t probably do somersaults or martial arts like some of the biggest stars in the industry, but they can deliver good performances”.

The 34-year-old actor is happy that both his aforementioned films are different in terms of character and plot. “Veere Di Wedding is a typical ensemble, a family movie. Ribbon is a slightly more intimate, in the sense that it focuses on the dynamics of the relationship between a working couple, and how having a kid takes a toll on their relationship,” he adds.
