Actor Kunal Kapoor, who is gung-ho about creating his own path, has come up with a writer’s room to make way for the “perfect script”. “I have seen actors, whom I respect a lot, constantly waiting for the right role that never really comes along. So, a writers’ room is a solution to this problem, where the scripts I want to act for or even produce can be created. It is important to not wait for the perfect script, because it may or may not happen,” shares Kapoor, who will be next seen in the big screen adaptation of Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
The 46-year-old adds that there have been instances where things didn’t pan out as he wanted. “It has happened in my career. I got a project which I was excited about, but it didn’t take off, and then I had to spend a couple of years for that to take off. We live in a time where it is easy to develop the kind of work you want to do,” Kapoor shares.
He also feels, “As an actor, I don’t think I have compromised in terms of accepting roles. I only accept projects if I find the work and the people I am working with, interesting. So, I don’t think I am doing anything just because I have to do it or have to be seen.”
Rishabh Suri is an Assistant Editor, film critic, and professional overthinker of plot points. He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
