Sunny Hinduja opens up on teaming up with The Family Man co-star Sharib Hashmi for a two-men play and lack of leading role offers

Actors Sunny Hinduja and Sharib Hashmi have worked together in The Family Man and share a strong bond. As a testament to their friendship, they decided to team up for a play. Hinduja says, “The initial idea was to make a film and it originated from [us writing] the kind of roles we aspired to do.” (Also Read – Manoj Bajpayee reveals wife Shabana feared The Family Man would ruin his career: ‘She thought I was doing a serial’)

The 38-year-old, who is a trained actor from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), has a long history with theatre. Ask if the stage allows him more freedom, and he shares, “Kahin bhi acting kara do, humein toh freedom milti hai. Ab mauka mila hai kuch create karne ka. Theatre se bada actor ki life mein koi riyaaz nahin hai.”

The actors will play the lead in this two-man play, while also being the creative producers and directors. It’s often said that theatre isn’t a financially lucrative medium, but the Yodha actor feels things are changing for the best: “Cheezein behtar hoti ja rahi hain. But, there is a satisfaction from theatre that you can’t get anywhere, aur use aap paison mein nahin tol sakte. Uss hisaab se theatre anmol hai.”
