I choose roles that I have not done before- Amir Ali

Popular actor Amir Ali, last seen in F.I.R on SAB TV, who has tried his hands in various genres, looks forward to play a convincing role this time as Dylan in & TV’s Dilli Wali Thakur Gurls.

In conversation with us, Amir talks about the character, reading the novel and more…

Tell us about your character in the show?

Dylan Shekhwat, is a journalist and as I have seen journalists from past so many years so now, I have got the knack about how a journalist works. Every human has a different perspective to see things and my character in the show is the person, who goes to any extent to bring out the truth at any level or at any cost, like he does little wrong things though he is little manipulative, his effort lies in bringing out the truth and show people ki sacchai kya hai.

You have done a comedy show and now you are back with a serious kind of role, so which genre is more difficult?

When F.I.R was ending, I got this show Dilli Wali Thakur Gurlsa. Playing a serious or a dramatic role is my forte but comedy I never did before and so, I thought of trying and did F.I.R. I went on to be a part fo the show for four years and I can’t believe that.

But let me tell you that comedy is the most difficult genre but luckily, I was not acting because the actors with me in F.I.R were so good that I feel, in the show I was being paid to go on the set and enjoy.

I like making my shooting place like a picnic place otherwise it gets little boring. So wherever you work, if you keep atmosphere good, it will be fun to work then.

What do you look out in a role?

I choose roles that I have not done before. After doing comedy, taking a comedy role was a very easy step, so I decided to do a completely contrasting role. My previous character was a funny and weird one but in this show my character is very classy. I am essaying an urbanized man who is completely opposite from my previous character.

I love to play different character with every new show because in films after four months you get to play a different character but in TV once the serial commences then 1, 2 or more depending on how many years the channel allows show’s tenure, we do the same character.

Being the only handsome hunk on the set amongst so many beautiful girls, how do you enjoy shooting with them?

I don’t know, what do I say (laughs). The girls are very pretty and very smart on our set. I have not done many scenes with most of the girls but eventually if you see that story, out of five girls, four girls are somehow or the other this guy is connected. I am not gonna talk much about it now because for that you will have to watch the show.

Have you read the novel Pricey Thakur Girls?

I haven’t read the book because till date. I am not much into reading, I love to watch. So if a film or a show is made on any novel, I can watch that but I can’t read. But I know that Pricey Thakur Girls is an acclaimed novel because I told my friends about the show which is based on this particular novel and most of them knew about that novel.

We wish Amir Ali all the best for the role!
