preparation for different characters is a lot different. but i work on my observations. i tend to look at things a lot many people would ignore and remember things which others think are worthless. to get into a skin of a character, one needs to first take inputs from the makers and then give a complete body to the thoughts. mannerisms and diction are difficult to manage but are very important. this is where a show like MAAN RAHE TERA PITAAH was very dear, though it did not run for too long. i was more or less in complete command of my performance in that show. once you have made the body then it is important to be innovative, keeping yourself within the parameters of the character.
i did not know that Vikram was going to turn out like this. but if you read the book on method acting, which of course... i haven't read, the last line says that every actor has to be a charmer. even if i were to play negative in PHS, i would make sure it has enough juice to keep people entertained.
