“It’s such a relief that I’ll be out of town shooting for my Marathi debut film in Cochin, and as it is, my family is travelling abroad for two months. How I had wished to be head-down in work. So, everything fell just right into place for me. Otherwise, I get this FOMO of what I am going to do for Christmas or New Year,” says the Big Bull and Dybukk actor.

Dutta recently had a theatrical as well as an OTT release. “I am enjoying these back-to-back releases as all this work was supposed to happen last year but got pushed due to the pandemic. Thankfully, my films including Rocket Gang and OTT series Khakee... could reach the viewers. Nonetheless, the pandemic has taught me one thing, that is to not to fly too high. I want each year to be better than the previous one work-wise but after 2020, I know we just can’t plan enough.”

Talking about what’s in store for the Gold and Haasil actor in personal life, Dutta adds, “I’m not against the idea of getting married at all. It’s really unfortunate that I haven’t found somebody with whom I am ready to spend the rest of my life. So, the day I’ll find my Mr Right, I am sure I’ll probably get married. Till then my work is keeping me settled and happy. As it is there is no family pressure. In fact, they have been very supportive so I think jab hona hoga tab hoga.”

After wrapping her Marathi film, Dutta will complete her project Dange with filmmaker Bejoy Nambiyar.
